Thanks!
And I'm stoked to see it finished too. I'm not in a huge rush though, I'm probably headed overseas for at least a year in July so it's not like I'll be able to enjoy it haha
It's still rolling. Mostly just waiting on some replacement panels. A bit more corrosion than anticipated but, like I said on ih8mud, you gotta piss with the cock you've got. No turning back. It'll be better than new when done.

You know if you would leave the keys we here at Expo would send you regular updates on how well it runs. Naturally we would send photos of it in scenic places.

Hah! Don't know if I could handle it. It'd be like seeing your ex-lady with her new dude on Facebook. Both being money pits and all.

I've never heard of a Troopy leaving it's owner before? Living vicariously through your vision and expendature.
