Been meaning to go & look at it for the last couple of weeks. Doug's been building this for as long as I've known him -15, maybe 20 years?
Nice though.  ;D

-just clicked on the video link. Yup. 20 years! Makes my 3 year Ford Pop build seem like a weekend project.

After 20 yrs its not far from being on the road. I believe all the fabrication is finished, the engine bay and underside are painted, engine and exhaust is fitted, now Doug is building it up.

We have Franz's consul sat in our workshop at the moment, doesn't look anything like that one though.
