Tough call on the roof I've just gone back and looked at the photos at the start of the thread and can't decide. Maybe you could bury a new roof in the garden for a couple of weeks before you put it on! :lol:

Note the three rusty patched holes on the green bootlid - those were bulet holes from the inside out (!). Mmmm, maybe this was a real Moonshine mobile. The other hole is where the guy I bought it off locked his keys in the boot just as the lorry arrived to collect it and take it to the docks. They couldn't get into the boot so they tin snipped open an access hole :shock:
