Wooow this is YOUR car?? i remember seeing some pics of this car and thinking how awesome the paint job looked! i didn't know it was yours lol. I love the fog and reverse lights idea! very clever.
Some big money must've gone into this project, she's top quality!
can't wait to see her done.

[mk1leg]

No as I awaiting new head lining from newton comm.and carpet set................but its in a safe place.....................

[BMC Paul]

This is really, really nice mate, well done and keep the good work up. i like the way you painting even some new parts and relays and carpet on the wood to protect the undersides paintwork and even cut blocks for the axle stands. Proper rebuild and nice attention to detail, keep at it and will be one off the best around.

[enneaitch]

love the attention to detail.

i think i might steel your idea of the plank of wood with carpet for my car after it gets painted.

the build is wicked keep it up.

i hope to attend mini50 so im looking forward to seeing this one.
