Yeah all good fun, I have had the car for about 15 years and turboed it in 1999 ish, its moved house with me 4 times and I will never sell it.

It had got to the point where it was either do something about it or leave it to rot, so doing something about it!

I built a massive garage at home so loads of room, what slowed it up a bit was the garage was broken into and loads of tools were stolen, mainly power and air tools (they left my tool box full of Snap on though  :laugh:)

Gonna prep the doors, bonnet and boot then prime them. Then flat the lot down, then trailer over to my mate's bodyshop for the top coats to be done and baked in his booth.

Going to be 2k as the coverage is better and he reckons the finish will be nicer than water based which they use for everything now...

Original colour going back on...
