HI All just to let you know that I am currently rebuilding a BN6 in Ireland that I have had for over 20 years as a project but for various reasons never got done, now she's 1/2 way though a ground up rebuild aiming for a semi rally style, the roads over here are not the best o run around on so best to aim for practicality not perfection......

Will update as things move on, pic is from a few weeks ago but you get the idea....

You’re making progress oggy. Welcome to the BCF; you’ll find lots of friendly help here.
You made me feel much better as it took me almost seven years to complete mine :encouragement:

HI all, thanks for the welcome, spent most the day shot blasting the chassis but still needs more before getting the first coat of paint on. Trouble is I have to shot blast outside so in Ireland that's a case of pulling it in and out between the rain HEHE. Does mean keeping an eye on the rain radar on the web.... The next few days look like its going to sit still as rain is forecast until Thursday oh well as they say Rome wasn't built in a day.

I can relate to the 20 year project! Now that I'm retired I'm hoping my 20 year project will be done in just another year or two.

By the way, my great grandfather immigrated here (USA) with his brother and a sister (who dies in-route) back in the 1800's from County Galway. Welcome to the BCF!
