Did they use Glasurit Aaron ? I can see the bottom of the sign ...

Good to see the ol' man providing a reflection !

 

Thanks Matt

 

yh im very impressed with it

Thanks fella

 

its pretty cold here at 20 degrees some days

 

someone had to do it

Yes mate, they have a contract with them so can only use Glasurit, Took alot of time finding a paint which was 99.5% close to the original. The only issue was that the paint codes mean nothing here and the car we had to compare to was my dads 500, and as that has more than likely faded over the years made it very difficult to match but got there in the end

Hows your car coming along mate?

 

Thanks mate ...

... haven't touched the car all year ! Although it had daily driver duties whist I fixed my TX3 Turbo .

We've done a big house reno and extension (at least I have a garage now) and this has taken ALL my time.

I'll give her a good clean (and hopefully a service) and drag it out for SFS . Kash coming?

Keep up the good work mate ... it'll be a ripper when its done.

 

O thats good you have somewhere to store the cos now

Yh definalty mate we will be there not sure in which car yet tho Might end up coming in the XR5

yh make sure you come down to SFS mate

 

good read fella
