I was gonna go blue for my rear beam and arms but i was convinced by mark that blue was no good, im glad i took his advice as i think they have come out pretty well i went for a graphite colour... should be going back together pretty soon, Cant wait to see it all going back together

Oh right, mates dad had stuff done at Kelcoat so i knew they did a good job so decided to take it there.
I think i payed just over Ł100 for a whole bootfull of stuff to be blasted and coated.
No progress on mine for a while, car is in Clayton in a single garage so not much motivation at the min with this weather and early nights.
Will hopefully get it moved to my new house (when i move in) so work could start again then as have my own garage.
Nice colour you chosen!

Yeah i thought it was a pretty good price too - they did lose the metal panel that runs across the bulkhead in the engine bay but they replaced it with a brand new one and coated it for me too.
Will try to find all of my pics and update my resto thread.
Thanks for the offer of the work space but would prob only end up cluttering the place up lol
