A few of you may remember the 'just married' sign I found in the boot (17/717).
I got it framed and gave to my Grandparents for Xmas a year ago 👍🏻.

Those holes in the roof are the sunvisor bracket holes. If you are going to put one back on, make sure you reinforce those spots. Inserting nutserts seems to be a good way of doing it but still needs reinforcing. refer to pictures of Surferboys roof.

July update! The body returned to the painters a week ago, now sporting 2k primers. I have sourced 2 x front mudguards and they are currently going through the dipping process, trying to catch up to the body! Exciting times
