I asked Paul if he can make more of these panels.. he just looked at me funny.
Does an artist make copies of his art?

Too bad this won't be seen after the panels go on.

What you mean you and Craig :)

Just watched Seven Psychopaths - what a great movie, Chris Walken awesome as ever but really
impressed with Sam Rockwell. Great stuff.

When I'll be a big boy I want to be as good as Audiurq... This rotten shell is turning into a little marvel!

Much as I would like to take the credit, this part of the project is being fabricated for me
by a local metal working genius. I will do some welding on the car, just don't tell Paul
or he won't give it back to me.....

The new rear seats and transmission tunnel. The rear seat area has been moved
back a couple of inches, as Martin so eloquently put it there should be a bit
more room for my fat arse....

I don't think I ever saw such a nice floor ;). The bead rolls and punches makes serious work! Guys know what they're doing. I wish I could find somebody like that to replicate the floor panel of the Iltis in my area... Metal working tools gets rarer and rarer.

Love to see and hear about the Iltis? Looked in to some at auction but figure living in the garage or beach
Just to have one at the time (things change) was not worth the divorce ;/
