Awesome work! I just got through reading all 47 pages. I am still in awe over the spray foam, and the layered patch work.

Looks great! What color are you going to paint it - olive drab? Are you going to restore it back to military spec?

Thanks waxhead.
The color will be the RAL6014, the olive yellow as factory (looks more green to me, but in the RAL catalog says that is yellow Laughing ).
The restoration is to give the military spec, as new, to the car. Have allready all the acessories for that, that I'm being colecting for the last years (convoy lights, axe, first aid kit, wheel chains, rifle suports, etc.). Wink Wink
