WOOOOOOT, A change of pace now people. im so happy right now. 90% of the paint dont now and looking awesome the colours look really good, cant wait to see it out in sun light. All that need doing now is front end and mirrors oh and roof/seem strips.

when i get it back im gonna have a week off work to get everythin wrapped up. need to get the front light cages send to the chromers and the seat frames sent down to the polishers. I spent 3 hours modifying polishing the frames up the weekend. The end result was pretty good but in that time i only got 1 piece of 12 done so im gonna sod that off!


Anyway here are the pics from tonight








awesome!

Thanks guys, really appreciate your comments im well chuffed with the colours. I stucked to my guns with the blue. to be fair it was a right mission though. It turns out the guy at jawel paints just made up a colour because he couldnt match the paint he made for me. I was really pi&%ed off by that, What a waste of money and what an idiot. A colour was found which was pretty damn near so that was used. looked real good in the end. gonna have to wait to see in in the sunshine. just my look is will rain for the next 3 months!!
