Fair enough, I’m happy with how the repair turned out in this case though.

yeah, their work is spot on........ replacing them would just be me taking the lazy way out!
Fantastic work on this car btw

agreed totally haha

Thanks Ian, it was about time - she spent too long being bumped down the queue.

Now in the hands of the spray shop next door to the metal place who came highly recommended, safe to say she’s not their usual grade of clientele.

Hahahahaha

I've found doors are getting pretty hard to find in good condition these days aye! At least in my experience anyway haha

Paint prep has escalated somewhat, with all the flaws in the previous paint job any hope of a simple smooth and blow over went out the window so off it all come.

Currently in hi build

After a brief pause in the process due to the guys wife having their first child with a C section then falling quite ill in the process rendering him a full time dad for a period we are back under way. You can tell this guy normally paints E types etc he’s a picky fella but it shines through in the quality and I’m probably going to be scared to walk near it but there we are.

Blocking back done and now in primer….










In colour this week, although he’s yet to tackle the doors which revealed some past impact damage and the front wings which had some self inflicted garden furniture damage so more to go but exciting to see the tornado silver back on her.

[Chud]

As a side note if anyone could hit me up with someone who does the arch spats like I had on her would appreciate it. Mine we shot and the guy who did them isn’t responding.

[Chud]

Tornado silver is on and damn am I nervous about living with such a beautiful paint job.

[ian65]

bloody hell that's a cracking paint job.... lovely colour too Tornado silver, one of the best colours for these cars

[Chud]

Thanks Ian

are you building it back up or are they doing it? I'd be terrified of scratching it can't wait to see this finished. I bet you are well chuffed.
