Well done bet you never thought this day was going to arrive
What colour is this you have chosen looks great

 

[JonathanT]

Hi Guys thank you for the comments. The colour is Ile de France 412 Extraordinarily hard to pin down as it changes dramatically in sunlight and shade. It's prob best described as duck egg blue or blue green . Looks very different on various screens. Lovely in reality -this next photo is a little nearer reality

I bought some bits from a nice Frenchman on EBay called Alain. In passing email chat he sent a photo of his car which was the same colour. It was the colour I was trying to track down. He carefully prepared a sample and sent it over to me. Alain said there are many misrepresented versions of the colour. But this was matched to original panels on his car

That looks awesome, I love the colour, well done indeed for getting to this stage!

Unbelievable nice color. so milky.....love it....

You are going right way to the finish.....

Just can not believe that you managed to put chassis on such small trailer

 

[JonathanT]

Only time to tinker this evening but working out what's next....and its carefully lift the body enough to get the butyl strip beneath neatly. So that's tomorrow nights job

 

[Azazello]

It's really beautiful!

 

[JonathanT]

Bolting the body down and bedding the Butyl - I had a cunning plan as you can see to lower the body gently into position in a controlled way. Then I fixed the kick plates using a little bit of butyl on the holes as per factory

[mojobaby]
