Looks good, glad to see you not holding back, what kind of time frame are you thinking for having it on the road?

It is an epic build, but that colour really is horrible

On one hand I would agree but on the other that is the colour the car was originally painted, so to preserve the cars originality probably best it stays that colour. It would be like replacing the dented wing on the royal nail van

 

[Daniel]

@Pumesta - Yeah I understand that he's trying to keep some originality about the car, but if it were me, originality would mean nothing if I didn't like the colour. He obviously likes it though, it just wouldn't be for me.

 

[Mark King]

my original plan was to do it red,but once you see the car in the flesh it suits it so its staying snot green

 

[iimm]

Originality, yup, suppose the colour is the only bit original.

 

[Mark King]

more wrecking done, dash out to remove engine wiring loom and to trace wires, will it ever go again lol



got the measuring done for the new loom so ill be able to get that ordered and start the build up, and its off to the body shop on monday
