I had planned to have it finished by the end of August... But as per usual there's always obstacles !
The weather is number one ! not good for paint adhesion ! or working out in the open in general.
Also the garage is shared with ny tradie son so I need to work in with him when he's not using it.
There's also the time I spend at his place helping renovating his house.
So I really don't have a finish date at this stage, Guess I'll try for Sept / Oct now ?
Still sounds alright mate. Will be a good time for some nice snappers :thumbsup:
But then again I think I remember you preferring your squid and Whiting’s? :)

UPDATE: Almost done ! trailer undercarriage totally replaced axle,springs,wheel hubs, just the electrics to be fitted then rod holders berley bucket ect, sea trials within 4 weeks fingers crossed !
Just in time for the Queenscliffe monsters to arrive ! It's been a enjoyable refurbishment and I'm happy with the outcome, that glossy floor will be slippery so yes carpet will be fitted and held in place with press studs for easy removal for washing.

From this --> to this !

Good job, the canopy will be great when it's cold and windy.

Absolute Pearler Hornet :a_goodjob:

You've done a great job. I really really love the paint job. You would have to feel good about how it's coming along, fantastic.

I noticed that you really have an attention to detail, it shows in the finish of everything from the paint, the floor, the cushions etc etc

Unfortunately, sorry to point out, I have noticed one slight infraction to perfection.

That one blue loop isn't tucked in with the rest of the loops, those sneaky blue hoses do that. Yellow cords behave, but those wayward Blues seem to be defiant.

Thx for pointing that out bugs ! I'll definitely circumcise that dam hose so it doesn't happen again ! :banana:

All's left is to fill it with those tasty morsels from the sea !
