Thought it was about time to try and get a few more pics on to update a bit!!

The underside has been painted in the body colour (I was talked into it by the painter) He's put a plasticiser in the lacquer to help with any potential stone chips :?
We painted it on the ramp at a low pressure so there wasn't too much overspray .

I've seen it in the flesh, the paint is so deep. :thumbright: Kevin has a good painter there, uses some Polish paint I think.

Bumpers were looking very sorry for themselves especially the rear - it had been straightened and ground off 15 years ago then sat on a shelf.
Wasn't sure if it could be saved!!!! :cry: :cry:
