Keeping a close eye on things even from Spain my man. Looking great.


Did you see the Facebook pics?

We tried to get it painted last summer but ran out of time, in some respects that's not a bad thing. The end result will be far better.

We spent another day yesterday getting everything spot on ready for painting

 

More flatting back primer, sorting the bonnet and getting the arches trial fitted

Sorry about the picture quality.

 

Hopefully another day and we'll be there, I don't mind flatting back primer when there's someone to talk to

 

Thanks Ben

It's really hard to get the colour to look right in photos.

 

This is the best i could do from the other day when i painted the inside of the window frame

Wooo! good work chaps. Been wanting to see this in paint for so long!

Purple is going to look awesome with the nice smooth body.

Look forward to tomorrow update! :D
