Hey Doc. Too much construction going on to house it there. It will be there for final bits soon as the dust settles. Keeping it? With what I will have in it when done I am going to have to live in it.
Kind words. I dunno... When we started this project it went slideways pretty quickly ~ and without my approval. The body work was pre-done (paint & all) but some of the gaps and alignment of the body were only so-so. Next thing I knew the fresh paint was sanded off and we then re-did the rockers to fit the bonnet. That turned into a complete repaint and the best gaps on a repainted SII on the planet. It has only gone up from there!

Image Unavailable, Please Login So gents... Nearing completion. Do I drive it home or trailer it? Its about 300 miles.
I vote trailer: a lot can go wrong in 300 miles. I'm thinking first rock chips, tar, bugs, etc. Short trips from home will enable you to tweak everything while minimizing cosmetic damage..
Get Haggerty insurance with roadside flatbed assistance. Drive it home. When you get home you will have a complete punch list of issues to fix vs incremental.
Thank you. You know... I am not afraid to drive it. Its been painted, & fully restored. It can be painted & restored again. Drive on friends.
Damn... It is finished. Its better than I had thought it would be. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
