Looks good mate! Interesting colour combination, but whatever knocks you out. I'll have to have a look in person. :thumb

Hey Listy - what do you mean by "coach painted it"
did you do it yourself?
what ever looks good - nice and straight. What is the inside like?
Futue te ipsum!!!
coach painted it is the posh way I suppose of saying I rolled it. Used a very fine mohair roller. has had 3 coats so far. The top colour (kind of aubergene) is an industrial thinners based super gloss laquer. Quite hard to paint with by brush, but you have to be wuick and do sections at a time. The bottom half is gloss enamel. I might end up giving it 5 coats of each colour and then put a clear finish over the top. only had a couple of small bits of rust which I cut out and bogged. Inside is very tidy. I have a seat in the back and that's it. No rust in floor. I put Carpet through out. I am using it as my work van (painter) and weekend funbus for the 6 year old in my life who thinks it's 'cool'. Great going the drive-in in it with his little mates. They have smiles on their faces as soon as they jump in. The guy I bought it off was basically a grub. Filthy mess inside and out and didn't spend a cent on it in 15 years probably.
