What color you gonna paint her?! I think purply black

 

[Dragonfly Fi]

probably be three main colours, Either Burgendy, Green and Black
or Blue, Purple, Black

Or Red, Burgendy, Black

They all sound lush!!

sooooo.... have done a bit of research today, we are getting a Craftmasters pricelist who are the main UK suppliers of paints for barges, boats, gypsy wagons - that sort of thing

I am pretty bad at calculating stuff but i reckon we can paint her for well under 200 quid

Then i have been looking at the wing that needs replacing, i can either buy a replacement fibreglass wing for 70quid OR i can get Chris to just weld what is already there... am going to discuss with him on Wednesday what he thinks the best course of action will be

its getting there though I reckon we will be well on the way in a week or twos time and the van will be MOT'd and on the road by end of August - Brilliant
