Hi Miller, bought one last year with the rest of my bits . As an aside I just tried my hand at fibreglassing for the first time ever today fixing a crack in the pop top roof on the campervan. That was fun, lying on my back balancing on the windscreen and working upside down trying to put that sticky shit on while it drips all over me. Done now though, see how it goes after it cures.

Nah, can't breath through my nose so that kills the circular breathing thing you need to play the didge properly. I should record a "sponsored by wild turkey" session on the piano tho for posterity's sake tho. I'll put it on here.

Is it just me or does my fibreglass headlight surround look like it's got it's sad face on?

Fibreglass front end bolted in to the inner guards and the main support. Not as hard as I'd thought. Outer guards will be a more interesting proposition. Thinking I'll start at the firewall, mate up with the front end then straighten the inner guards to suit. Though if someone has a better way I'm all ears.
