After a few hard years on the show circuit John decided it was time for his panther to have a re-spray, and it was decided to take the opportunity to make a few improvements, and repair some damage.

Chassis stripped out, degreased and jet washed	Turret about to be jet washed	Johns panther took a 3ft dive off the work bench recently, and has bent the rear axle		Axle straightened and strengthened
Sheet metal debris guard	New exhausts grills and mud guards ready for fitting	New mud guards fitted	All paint on the top striped off and grills fitted	Rear panel strengthened with aluminium plate
All new parts fitted and red oxide primer	Mantlet debris guard fitted	New steel hatches	New steel storage tube	Machined aluminium hinges
Springy arial	New exhausts (knock them off Humpy)	Opening storage bin hatches	New jacking block bracket	Basic green paint job
Just waiting for its red stars	Rear views with the weathering staring to be applied
			Weathering finished
All back together		After its major refit Humpy took it for a test drive
And it survived, must be good!!!
