Well here she is back , got her back last week but no time to get any pics up till now

First off i would like to thank Mark at NMS (norris motorsport) For an incredible job he has done on the car The guy is an absolute perfectionist when it comes to painting and his attention to detail is amazing .
If anyone has any paint work needs doing or a restoration do not hesitate to get in touch with him....Cheers mark

So here are a load of pics of the car up to now before i start building it back up, some of the black bits which are the only bits left to show and some of the rest of the car just because i want to show em

first pic is of the floor where there has been a repair from when the jack went through the floor
