I know it's a lot of work. My panel beater said to do it properly it would be a lot of work. I have been looking for a while and am still following a a few leads. Amazingly years ago they were everywhere.

It is always the way.... When I moved from north of Newcastle to Sydney a couple of years back I had two I couldn't even give away. I even asked around on here and no one wanted either one. One was in excellent condition which had already been unpicked and treated internally and was as straight as a die.

Sorry mate, ended up scrapping them, along with a heap of other really good stuff that I now wished I'd been able to keep.

Thanks Taily. Ain't it true. If only we knew then what we know now.
