Re: Phunkie Project Portafold
Well done, and look forward to your next project. Thanks for that. Hope you're sorting yours out ok. Our next project unfortunately won't be on here 'cos it's not a folding caravan, it's a period speed boat that I've had for over 15 years. It needs to be finished to then get on with the Nash Metrop...

Re: Phunkie Project Portafold
Well here we are at the final furlong. We decided to put some period alloy wheels on and, as luck would have it, a friend of ours had some wolfrace slots that he was willing to donate to the project.
