car is all sanded down, hopefully it will be polished in the next few week`s all the tinware is at the coaters will be back on thursday..

plan is to put the motor back on the pan then drop the body back on,it`s just resting there at the moment,not long to go now.

Nice look Mattie. Should look the biz when it's all together. The colour looks hot and the wheels set it off perfectly. Those white BRM's you had would've also looked good.
Just read the post, forget about the flash kit!

It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.

Shit mattie that's looking the goods. If Paul does half as good with my car I'll be happy as a pig in shit.
Going a bit more German Look with those wheels than resto cal?


Good stuff anyway keep it up.
