    Ben, currently there is a program running in the background due to the Forum being targeted by our Russian friends.

Just when you think the floor is finally painted, you need another coat. grrrrrr

    It's a 2 pack paint so not too bad plus with the spray booth doors open and the heating on, it gets pretty warm in there.
    one more coat should do it!

    Good lad. I'm guessing you'll be doing a build thread to show us how it's done

    There will be a build thread but it will be a painfully slow one as time is not something I have a great deal of this year

    I had to overhaul the rear brakes today on it. Turns out its all Jag XJS parts. I also drove it and found that im too tall and it's impossible to see out of the mirrors or the back. I hate it but so many customers dropping cars in stopped to admire it and take photos
