Hopefully, assuming the cert man hasn't changed his mind about certain things as I have heard he is prone to doing :?

Its good to see you doing this. I remember seeing the final stages of your old surf when I first joined ORE.

What happened to the old surf?

It fell off a bank Tim. I had been thinking about sorting it out into a rig that could be certed and with the body pushed 3" out of line when the exo pushed it over, it seemed like a good time to start getting all the bits together.
That was 18mths ago though :oops: . Still, better late than never :P

Not to far away now, a good slice of the body work has been done, all sub structure is completely stripped for painting and is being painted at the moment.

Didn't seem to be much interest here, so i stopped posting here about it.
