Shed load ...............

Got a shed load of panels and parts to go on , New master brake cylinder and seals for the tube that goes to the reservoir in the cab , Once the cab floor panels are back in the Brake pedal and lever , and accelerator pedal can be refitted , Talk about jigsaw puzzels , flipping heck !!!! , think it's going to take a bit longer than the original estimate , which was a bit vague anyway
