Ah legend! i always did wonder if you'd sold it or not. Right age eh? ;)

Be interested to see what happens with yours then!

(although that thread is horrendous for broadcasting how i typed when i was 15...)

Well, the paint i received is definitely the wrong colour.
 
I've done four or five coats now and you can see the colour mismatch when compared to the factory paint...

Coming along great! Can't wait for us both to have minis again and annoy everyone in farnham again.

 

Shame about the flame red!

 

 

Also, I can vouch as to how bad this shell was, as I saw it in the flesh many times, the state of the floors and sills were horrendous, so to see it in this state is probably just as much of a relief to me as it is to Jono, and it really is a proper good achievement and you should be proud.

This is looking great. I remember this project first time round. I'm glad to see it'll soon be back on the road, and it'll be standard with only minor mods, not many Chelsea's around in standard form. Look forward to more updates!
