I'm happy with the end result! It looks so good that I'm thinking of not re shelling it!!! But it has to be put into my new 1980 clubby!!!! So I'm going to slowly rebuild the other one and enjoy this beautiful car to its full potential
hope u guys enjoyed this build as much as I have! I haven't done all the work but I did some of it and I'm proud of that but a huge thank you goes to my brother! His patience and work is unbelievable and I'm so lucky to have him! He's great but anywho
