    The finished van looks mint but I can't help wondering how much time & money you'd end up spending to get it looking that good.

    Even if you bought the body, wheels & basic interior, there's still a shit-load of scratch building to do.

    Having said that, it'd be a hell of a project, You should definitely buy it and build it.

    You're welcome

    Just like the real thing

  2. No it's generally pretty easy

    No sign of damage/been dropped on that fork, I once had one that had dented a bit where the seal sits. 

    I filed it out so the seal was sitting round again and no worries. 

    It looks like quite a leak tbh more than a stone chip might make

  3. Lurk here,

    If you are gona repaint the whole thing and or don't care too much about a respray in thr original colour you can get a few litres reasonably priced. The dulon lightning mcgreen is a bit lighter but might suit

    Dulon is a bit old tech, but pretty fine for an old car, it's probably painted in something similar. I touched up chrisr's tonner with it and it's still stuck on

     

    Not as "bad" as 2k (the bad stuff is mostly in the clear), but If you did a solid 2k base you wouldnt have to do a clear (although the added UV protection of clear helps)

    Could be a good winter project, any idea on what resistance the windings should be?

    I've been thinking of buying some flashing LED's for them  https://classiccarparts.co.nz/classic-car-led-12v-self-flashing-36mm-semaphore-trafficator-amber-led-slimline-256-12v36flash

    I did mine just by roughly measuring the wire and counting the coils. I might have some further in for long deep in my morrie build as it was about 2007 I did it.  The resistance is probably in the manual somewhere, il see if I can find it
