Epic project :thumbs:

 

Would love to buy a classic project one day, not sure I have the patience for it though :lol:

 

Thanks

 

Lack of patience is one of the big reasons why I am not doing the work ;)

 

this is going to be awesome, i can fully appreciate the lack of patience

Thanks :)

 

Im starting to become rather torn on colour and as much I want something different, I think the novelty will wear off. It will have the arch extenders, bumpers, fender mirrors all in black and I am giving serious thought to keeping it stock silver.

Wow I'm so glad I got mine from the desert!! Theres some serious work to do on the door.

 

I'm also at the stage of deciding on colour, I've got it down to three but can't make up my mind.

 

Enjoy your holiday & hopefully there will be a good update when you get back :thumbs:

I just soiled myself, that blue is beautiful.

 

Has no one mentioned Midnight Purple II yet?

 

No.... you are a complete ASS!!! That now makes it even harder to decide - midnight purple added :D

 

Original silver for me!!

 

ARRRRGGGG!!

Quick update

Just ordered up the final bits of metal I require (the rear inner arches) and as soon as they are done the car will be prepped to be painted. Sadly, still undecided on colour (gunmetal grey or blue)..........

 

Have bought:-

Wheels and tyres

Bumpers (bought ages ago)

Arch extenders (bought ages ago)

Fender mirrors (bought ages ago)

Side clear indicators (bought ages ago)

 

Have ordered:-

Repair panels

Front valiance

Front clear indicators

Rear strut brace

Master bushing kit

 

Still to order:-

Shocks

Springs

 

Going to leave the interior as it was for now (expect for refurbing steering wheel, gearknob and replacing a small broken panel) to see what state it is actually in, been so long since I actually had the car! But will eventually add/replace seats, seatbelts, harnesses and fix the dash.

Finally bits of metal have just arrived at workshop so this should be getting done over the next few days and then shell will be prepped for paint.......... and I thought I was decided on colour, then saw this red, which I now love
