@dndnk when you say paint.....? I want to paint it but not sure what colour yet, scotties done an amazing job on the rust can't thank him enough! But getting it put back together first and on the road is top priority!

@djc we still need to sort the bull bars but just I've just been so busy! Have you got a pic of the grill?

I'll do a pic of grille today but the thing is it's the current colour, if you are changing to dayglo green (very en vogue it seems :lol: :lol: ) then there'll be plenty of grilles far closer to you. Will do a pic anyway.
Re bullbars, a fave topic of mine - do you have some and what style are they. There are some on eBay right now (tenner when I last looked).

Bit of delay in posting but picked up the truck from scotties work shop a couple of weeks ago, left the front end behind for Scottie to finish off welding the VL on it. Also had a couple of hours this afternoon to kill so got the 1.3 engine, gearbox and transfer box removed ready! Pica to follow when I can work out how to make them smaller ;)
