thats most of pics so far all taken off my phone .sorry no pics of car when i got it but didnt have access to a box brownie.you can see from main car shots still shiney under all the dust.just a shame the paint work it had done in its past life hadnt been to the standard of the finish.looks like both sides been painted to a very high standard but lazy body shop didnt paint it like i will be doing. over sprayed in to door shuts body kit not removed to paint.not how it should be done in my opinion.thats it for now as you can see its not in to bad a nick for its age. more updates soon done a bit more waiting for sander belts and mastic primer pics to follow

I think you can edit your thread title by editing your first upload, make sure to 'go advanced' then you can see the line of your first article's 'title' give it a shot!

Very clean car, what colour you going for?

Mister G

Nice project, very straight, wish I had the space for a spit

paul rs1700t

thanks for comments. trying to keep as original as i can so it will be mercury grey my favourite colour apart from red on a s2.just got some more stone chip to finish off bottom.once i refit the round caps in floor and wheel well it will be stone chip, high build primer, base coat then lacquer .then i can take it off the spit and put it on the dolly i have nearly finished making .prep of top will be done in my garage but will be painted at my mate colins

paul rs1700t

thanks for comments.yes spit makes it very easy but also takes up a lot of space.not be long now and it will be off and onto a dolly which is nearly finished.
