ok true to my word pics massive.....

Well things have sort of change from my original plan the car went to adrenline for some work has returned for me to work some magic on it i think i'll let the pics do the talking










Then it basically all went wong i got talked into it










The car is now resting at my mates NEW bodyshop been in there new unit 2 weeks and to say the place is outstanding !!! few pics of it









the car is going to be prepped more and seam welded front few more tweeks here and there and speedlined pic under to show colour, flash does it no justice really but the colour is Very similar to IMP BLUE...



mine will be used with the usual speedliner quality but also using kevlar mixed in to make it perfect.... Giving the following results:- (but in orange)



Can't be Fcuked to write anymore i'm knackered over and out

UPDATE:- thanks for the response.... phone call today seems the front end has been fully seam welded and few other bits done too now, and he has begun to prep the interior for paint front screen is now out too ...

GO JAMIE GO!

gota nip my top mounts and other bits over to him so he can mod the turrets for the mounts then he can paint the engine bay too then begin the underside hopefully fully finished in the next 2 weeks... then i need o go down and build it back up... i may be going over in a day or two may make a start on the engine side of things...
