That looks brilliant, a lot of hard work but now it looks that good you must be over the moon with it Thumbs Up Life is one big adventure, that's why we have the vehicle for the journey.

Did you use the original chassis or replace with a galvanised one?

Awesome work, well done to you and your wife. I just told my girlfriend about your rebuild and your wife doing it with you.

Me - tell her about your rebuild
Her - Pulls a funny face
Me - Its ok, we don't need to rebuild ours.
her - I doesn't matter to me, I'm not your wife!

Followed by the 'when will you ask me to marry you' conversation!!! Now, IF I ever do marry her, it's because the 110 needs a full rebuild!!! haha Strong people are harder to kill and generally more useful!
