Freaken loving this thing haha. Its pure car porn. Take me for a spin in it when you've finished it please :)

 
Should be done in a couple of months!


29th of July it's looking very promising . Top work ...the paint has gone on well did you enjoy doing it ?
If you do have any problems in the future with cracking .. (hopefully not) try putting some flexible additive in with the paint ( you use it on spoilers and plastics and rubber ) I have used it lots of times good stuff ........I did my minus apx 15 years ago and still crack free

It does look good in the pictures, up close there's a few issues but I'm very pleased with it.

Yes I did enjoy doing it, great sense of satisfaction when it rolled out in the sun. I didn't enjoy flatting the high build though!

I probably will have some issues, considering the amount of repairs I did on the roof etc. 15 years, that's a great achievement. A testiment to your skills!

Funny that no one likes the prep !
Glad to hear you enjoyed doing it and that you are very pleased with the results . To many people think paint is witchcraft and run a mile but like you say it's a great sense of satisfaction when you get it right .........just didn't point out the issues ...no one will notice they will be too busy drooling over the rest of the car !

Just read through this from the first page, I have seen photos of it on the forum before but never realised there was a build thread for it. It's very interesting and must have been lovely starting from what looks like some what of a blank canvas.

Well done with the build so far, everything looks excellent and there are some aspects of the build that make me want to get out and have a go on my project.

I will keep an eye in here but it's come together really well. Credit to you as a builder.

Liking the colour, the whole style and direction of this, well done!
