Thanks MC, not very many left now. Next jobs is to paint the roof, sort the front grill, fit a brake light switch and fit the bonnet.
After that's done I' ll fit a remote servo to the front brake circuit. Then start trimming the interior. Lots to do, but really enjoying these bits of the build

No probs mate, that was for sale the same time I got mine from Mystery Machine on here, I was very tempted by it bu went for the six wheeled one. I've only got space for one "toy". All the work is being done in a rented garage with out any mains power.

I've got the remote servo in and working. Also wired up the electric cooling fan via a adjustable thermostatic controller, also wired the aux cooling fan via a switch. it needs a second coat of paint to the roof after a rub down. After that a tweak to the exhaust and then trim the interior. I have some matt black vinal wrap for the rear glass side panels, to make it a bit cooler in the summer and less of a mobile green house. Thanks for the comment

You could get Infrared reflective film for the side panels, keep the crazy look but minimise heat...

I started to read this thread and thought it was so cool - then I noticed it was a 6-wheeler which INSTANTLY made it the coolest car ever.
Absolutely love it!

Thanks leaky, I'm sure my grin will be huge when I finally get it on the road, my aim is to get it to Castle Combe mini Action Day in September. I'll sort the MOT out once the electrics and lights are finished. Then trim the inside

Hi Andy, I got it from a military paint supplier. I used satin paint as I've heard matt is difficult to keep clean and attracts the dirt. It goes on very well with a 4" (100mm) foam roller from toolstation. They have a huge range of colours, very nice paint to use. See link below www.militaryvehiclepaint.co.uk/index.php
