The problem I have with aussie stores. They say they have the stock when they dont or on back order. Which means. We will get the parts when we have a
bigg number to inport. I would rather cut the middle man out and get it myself and save money and the head ache of dealing with empty promises

WE HAVE SOME COLOUR WOOOOO HOOOOOOO. What you see here is a far cry from the real colour. The camera can not capture the real colour. once you see it
you will understand. It is a real in your face colour but not offensive. good luck in painting the out side Couper Stratford. You just had a taste how
hard this colour is to paint.

Hi guys ans Girls . Well what can I say BOOF has been a busy Boy. The last month he has been out in the garage sanding blocking sanding. Things have
come a long way as you will see. It started with the bonnet WOW wasn't that a Job for him to straighten aslo the guards they were a huge job as well
to bring them back to usable. ERIC his boss told me not to buy new ones as it will be a great learning curve for him. Apprentice (panel beater).

sorry for the lack of picks on that stage but it was a very nerve racking period. Heaps of hours was put into it by both Dylan ans Couper. The more
fun stage was puttin the Boris in full primer.

Dylan was Proud of his edges that he was getting from the work he put in.

Before they got to far The inners of the boot and bonnet had to be painted. That didn't go to well . The paint fried on us. I suppose it dosnt pay to
take short cuts. So Dylan took it to work to weave his magic again and use some of the shop tools to make life easier. He thought well how about we
sound deaden the panels and leave the ribbing. Not a bad idea. They came up well.

Once these dryed they came home to get refitted
loving it at this stage. No this is were this built becomes interesting. Everyone starts to pitch in as one I am working and two I had lossed interest
in it as I have bigger things on my mind like loosing my job late July. but that's another story. Anyway somewhere Couper the young fella that was
going to paint the car lost interest in it. So I asked if Eric Dylan's boss would paint it. He was more than glad to help out. WOW I owe that guy a
big one.
We were on a mission Eric wanted the car by the weekend 3 days away. So everyone got motivated and helped out
We got it done minus one small panel. It looked good at this stage. This Is John Sarah's boyfriend he supplied the trailer to get it to the work
shop.
Off to the workshop it went

Well off to the shop it goes. All I thought was the car was getting dropped of and a quick look at by Eric. Well wasn't I wrong. The car and Dylan
and John left at 8.30in the morning. I was at work wondering what Eric was picking on before it got painted. there were a few small things like a
couple of pin holes but we knew that. But Eric being Eric had to tweak as he loves his work. He was very surprised on the standard the Dylan and
Couper mainly Dylan got the cat to. So he through the base coat on the body to see how it would look. He turned to Dylan and said we are clearing
today. They finished around 7 that night. Body done and inner wheel arches done. why stop when you are on a roll.

We chose White beading as apposed to standard black. So that once the interior goes in the black would be out of place. Also to try and keep the
outside fresh looking. This colour amazes me. It is a solid pastle but for some strange reason it changes in different light condition as you can
probably see or have picked. The colour you see here is far from it real colour. I am very proud of Dylan and Couper for the work they have done.
Dylan has done most of it and he said there is a little bit of him in this car as well. Eric has done an amazing job of these two boys in passing on
his knowledge and skills. A true tradesman with a talent and a love to see his apprentices become great trades persons
