just get a truck to drive in to you! only £100 out of pocket for this job! :p

gonna feel guilty about garaging it over winter, but would be a shame to ruin such a fresh paint job with the grit and the weather we're expecting :(

ahh you bastard hahah. still though, id rather not risk writing the car any myself off by playing chicken with a truck lol!!

Just can't wait to see it finished tbh. Got a new interior and wheels for it too

Just read all of this, such jokes man, them few days of the initially a 1.3 conversion was hilarious, literally laughed for days solid and drank soo much between us aha!

Should be awesomezzzz with paint

Xxx

lol was amaze few nights, epic fail tho..

Gonna start saving for a few goodies after christmas..

Thinking about Coilovers, Gauges, Wheels/tyres and maybe mappable ignition. Had the car 3 years and still have the standard exhaust system on, reaaaaally need to get one made up..

Might buy another cylinder head and do a bit of head work if i get bored too.. :)

You can have my exhaust cheaps when I eventually get a new one!

cheers dude! probz just get a new back box and tip welded on. Probably the first job tbh, car will benefit. Although the sound from the carbs alone is jizzzzzz

Looking so great...

I would like to paint my bready too (Alpine Weiss to, btw).

Great job!

update us!

Soon :p

nothing to update here really eric! taking waaaaay longer than expected, but I'm not really in any rush for the car back..

its had a few coats of paint already, and they've noticed a few imperfections in the wings and bonnet so are gonna sort those out before it gets finished and lacqouerd etc..

Little bit annoyed that they haven't taped up where the grill went, as theres a lot of overspray in the bay which i spent forever painting.. but never mind. heres how it was last weekend

awesome car would have if you had sucked to re shell it,

Spoke to the guys at the body shop earlier in the week, and they aren't happy with the way its turned out after paint etc, so it's going to be re done.

Not too fussed, just want the car back before the RR day as the car didn't make it last year due to burnt out fuel pump :(

The guys at the body shop are really taking pride on my car and seem really proud of it and other customers are always commenting on it so it should all be worth while when its back!

thats all for now

Pain it has to be re-done but hopefully it should turn out really nice.

You know you're going to get it back the weekend before the RR day so we'll have a mad one building it up and setting up carbs and stuff lol!

another carb tune absolutely hammered yay

My gearbox still works, might even make it to the RR day, be sweet to see this there.

Paint is on order at the body shop, still on track to have it ready for RR day. Excited to get it back now, get some use out of it this year as it didnt spend alot of time working last year..

Sweet! be good to see it at the RR day!

teaser. see you all at the rr day! looking forward to it!!

Brilliant!! :)

mopped and polished today, and had new pin stripes put on :)

That is stunning - great work.

who did your strips?

Visign in stafford Mark, haven't seen them in person yet, just got sent this pic today from the body shop. the 'Parade' size and font looks perfect from what i can see! quite chuffed tbh!
