Never said there was anything wrong with the name. Car's getting a new lease of life and should be given a new name. Again, up to the owner of the car, only giving my opinion.

Instead of "Stud" and given its history maybe "Flop" is a good choice. :mrgreen:

Not back right yet but getting there..... Going to get the panels from Ian in MiniQuip and finish the front and then it be back on the road.
We took it for a drive after sorting out some wiring ect and it seems to be driving well. I even drove it back down to Marks house about 3 miles from here. Saved the hassle of loading it back on truck.

As He looks now......

I'm sure Mark will be on later and add something more...
