Cheers guys - to me the paintwork is the most daunting aspect, rest is reasonably straightforward I reckon.

Bassy mate - its a shame about the XR, it was a great car but the spirit shall be in the new shell haha!! Gonna keep it in Mattisse Blue and go for a bare shell respray, with the kit, bumpers etc on it. Want it to look like a Turbo in a non original colour if you know what I mean. Howz yours gettin on?
