Looking good m8, hope your gona be happy with the job.

 

Looks like it's gonna be a good job with the amount of prep, looking good

 

Looking really good Jeff, if your car is where it looks to be its in very safe hands, he painted mine

 

im sure i will be adam he has a very good rep on the rs scene

from what ive seen chris im very happy so far,hes taking his time to get all the prep work just right before he applies the top coat

im sure it is paul i wanted him to do it and i was prepared to wait as long as it took to fit me in,i understand he a very busy man and with good reason.

 

Yeh he is really good.I heard he wasnt doing big jobs no more.

 

so you've sussed who's doing the job then glenn
i also heard he wasnt taken on big jobs but he came down and looked at the car and seen the car was pretty straight so was more than happy to take it on

 

Jeff's is the last big job, he'll still do big jobs for mates

Jeff it will look great when finished

 

looks like i got in just in time then
justin im sure ill be very happy when its done.

Hi what did u clean and paint the gearbox with? Doing mines this week

 

i de-greased the box then used a selection of wire wheels to get a good key,then used panel wipe then etch primed it then used an aluminium look vht paint from the local motor factors,its a shitty job to do but worth the effort,ohh and dont forget to change the seal in the box while your there.

 

Great thanks mate, it definately looks the part

 

Car is coming along very nicely. Great attention to detail bud. . Gonna look absolutely brilliant when she is done

 

cheers lads

 

Excellent work mate.
