Hi all I have finally got the chance to sit down and give a little update for you all, I have been busy in between work and life trying to get this sorted. Violet in her current state is taxed Mot'd and on the road, not that she has been driven anywhere yet haha

 

I still have the interior to finish and all the details on the outside, funds and time have slowed things down, but my London to Brighton ticket has arrived and I am full steam ahead to get her out on the road for the summer.

 

I will just let some pictures from the last few months do the talking  and you can see a little bit of progress.

 

Thanks

So there we have it an update, as much as I can so far, as I need to sort the rest of the pictures out, like I say she is nearly finished and back on the road, the colour in these pics looks really dark but once she is outside it looks completely different I have to say I am very happy to see her in paint after all this time.

 

All the prep and work before paint was done by me and the paint work was done by Minichanics of Stockport, so please find them on Facebook and Instagram for more information, I cant thank them enough for all their help and making this stage possible. Plus they have some more pics of my car on their page  ;D

Looks amazing! Makes me miss my sidewalk so very much, it will see the road again one day but most likely with a new heritage shell so have some saving to do!
