Nice work, turrets look good.
Is it OK moving the beam mount inwards and leaving the top mounting where it is? Excellent work tho, good to see you're not put off doing what needs to be done cos of new paint (I know I would be!)
Shame about the turrets post painting, lookIng good though:thumb:
Painted the wheels thisafternoon, fettled with the rear engine mount (spacers) and half finished the other turret.
Spent most the day tidying the coop up!

Not a great picture, tractor (new holland) blue!
Blue is cool.

Green is boring!

Turrets are finished & painted.
Exhaust up next!

Stainless exhaust been done, just need to get Scotty boy to tig it up for me!
Should of done the wheels pink again lol.

Exhaust looks a good job, you might struggle with noise limits tho!
look's good how did you do the bend's paul .

I bought them Kev.
Engine in on the spit?
Brave man mr Paul:)

Cambelt went on tonight, then the clutch and gearbox, engine may be in the hole tomo night...
cant wait to see this done
