As it stands...............................



i Fookin Hate wiring



Up high enuff to get my fat arse under her



Wounder what this would fetch on ebay, not a crack insight



BUT I AINT SELLING......

 

looks new mate

 

seen an uncracked dash go for over a grand no bother

keep it coming mate

 

 

what i can't get my head around, is this is a mint origional car and you are going to load it up wiyh stone chip and cladding paint!!!!.
why not redo in origional spec paint

 

This paint is the bollox mate and think about wot cladding has to go through in its lifetime.This paint will preserve this shell in its MINT condition for years to come as it never gets used through the winter months anyway and once we have finished with it i doubt you will even notice wot paint it is anyway and you will be surprised at the finish you get with this paint when used correctly .Dont forget this is RobS area of expertise as this is his job and i've seen the guy at work as used to work with him.And believe me this will look the bollox once done and be minty fresh in years to come. Hope that answers your question.

 

Haha, remember that bit well
This was mine



Looking goog mate, keep at it as soon as it starts coming back together it all becomes worth it.

Loving mine at the minute and that has taken me 3 years to do.

Keep it up mate

 

You EVER need a hand and ill be there in a jiffy lol Looking good dude!

 

Rallyraid..............

As 3drstretch said really, im going for more protective than cosmetic underneath but it will look good when done. I know the car is mint and
the shell original but i wanted to go right though the car while i have use of a free workshop being as i was changing the engine/gearbox anyway.

It wont be a car thats up on axle stands every weekend being cleaned
so dont see the point of spraying up like the concours boys.

 

cheers for the offer Jiffy, i,ll let you know if i need help

 

Everytime I have seen this car it has looked immaculate. Can't believe the strip down you are giving it. No doubts it will be even better than before.

regards muppet.
