Looking forward to someone else tackling one of these. Looks to be an early 72 model? and should sound a bit better than mine!

Jeez I've been slack, 12 months ago today, I painted the old girl (locked in isolation with covid)
I've really not done much else since then. But I'm determined to finish it this year.

Well done scratcha! You have done a great job.

Put plenty of sealant in the vertical windscreen joins when you refit them, or they WILL leak badly. It is worth buying a pair of twin suction cup style glass handling handles if you don't already have any. The handles with smaller twin suction cups will fit on the angle screens, where as larger diameter single cup handles won't. And a box full of $5 light duty wide jaw type lock on pliers, to hold the seal in place before you start fitting the windscreens is a BIG help. Clamping the seal in place for several days beforehand helps a lot too, so that it gets used to the shape it needs to be.
