Just back in from the garage having given everything I painted the other day a second coat, hopefully that might do it, I'm hoping all the yellow tube work won't need a third coat!
So hopefully it will be on to the main body tub next time (Wednesday?).

OK, Dave got you. Been thinking about scrapping the vacuum and going free wheeling hubs. But the list just keeps getting longer and longer.
Thanks Dave

Popped into the garage on the way to work this morning ( :woohoo: next door!) and the second coat of yellow agricultural enamel paint has taken well
just a couple of internal corners etc that need a little extra... and the second coat on the bonnet looks great too!
Chuffed as a train...

Some spy shots then...
I'm particularly happy with this joint where the eliptical diagonal tube joins the top of the rear hoop that forms the back... you just want to run your hand over it...
Wing top and bonnet edge with the "bent box" under it... nice lines!
And the back of the "halo hoop", with the fairlead hoop at the back if I need to run the winch rop up through it (to self-right the buggy, etc)
The smaller tubes are to protect the soft-top roof when it's open and folded back
