No problem the second pic isnt of mine , but it is the car that made me change my wheels and shows the colour through its full spectrum.
I will ask on one of the porsche forums about primer.

Yeah mate graham collected it yesterday afternoon,

Wont be long till urs is back in, how long you think it will take to finish the fab work needed on yours then?

-beefy-

iTrader: (6)

result mate , were starting to claw bk the extra time ricks has taken lol ,


mine , id say 2 - 3 weeks there aint a mountain of things to be done , yeah we have to mount the rear end

but the rest is more intricate jobs to finishing the fab work but as with all karls work , it takes a little longer as he wont scrimp on the end result .

lol it frustrates me sometimes when we were putting the floor in and he would spend twenty minuites welding and grinding bk a few pinholes

id say " what u doing , you wont even see them when its all done and sealed " ?

hed just reply " yeh but id know ther there !!! "

has deffo changed my way of thinking to soing anything the best that i can now , and when people say hurry up ect , it doesnt bother me in the slightest . end of the day its me who has to be happy with the car when its finished ,
