Ye, it was the colour i originally was going to keep it,then changed my mind to candy red,but when it went back to black as a guide coat,decided to keep it black,also nearly everybody on here said black,glad i went with the majority now,going to have some red bits under the bonnet,cam covers,plenum etc,to break it up a bit .

STU_3LTR_TT Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 looks good mate cant wait to see this at the pod Thanks Jurgen,going down Devon to see it next week,been about 5 months since i saw it in the flesh,be nice to see some bits go back on the shell, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate I have to say the dedication you've shown to this cause is very impressive. That car needed alot of work (the main reason I didn't buy it in the end) and you've had it all done. You must be close to the end of the original build idea now? Funny the car I bought instead of it the do-luck aristo despite not being in a constant state of strip has been almost as used as your car. I've also after nearly 3 years had enough of the project and mine is up for sale too. Funny though how you go look in the garage see it there and it tugs your heart strings and tells you not to sell it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Ah I got the wrong end of the stick then I thought you'd said further back in this thread that you were moving on from this project which I interpreted as you would sell it on.
