Gosh!
Absolutely fabulous, lovely job of the lines and the colours, going to be just great (and unique).
Good on you to have the commitment to do it properly.
Looks like the lads have a sense of humour too!

Thanks - I'm helping the lads tomorrow morning to get the panel gaps as good as poss and should have every panel fitted by then and what I've seen already I'm very impressed with, more about the lads who prepared and painted the car later. The car does look fab, but the pictures really don't do it justice, so pleased it's not silver. You'll be pleased to know that the car will be used in some selected hillclimbs here in NI, maybe not this year but defo next. BTW way if I had £1 for ever Beetle/Herbie remark made in the paintshop, or from my lads in my business I could by one - not a bad idea?

Very nice. Red, white & blue is so much better than silver.

Too right - bloody lovely this is

Cheers Clive, thx for the kind words and the new Brumos watch you've kindly bought for me....... If you could politely ask them to change the number 59 to a more respectable number 54?

Robin your car looks superb, given the value of 67S the majority would have chosen the originality path...refreshing that you stuck to what you wanted. Credit to you and the shop doing the work.

I too give you major kudos, the paint job is incredible and beautifully rendered. The car was would get major attention if shown at "stateside" events like Daytona historics, Rennsport Reunion etc. Not that air-freighting cars back and forth across the Atlantic is something most of us can afford, just a nice thought.

That looks fabulous pal, look forward to seeing it in the flesh and more importantly to its first run out at the end of June...

Didn't you say 8 weeks? I've been generous and added two..

Still don't understand why you didn't paint it silver though...

Happy with how the front end looks. I wasn't sure if the red and blue stripes would look good on the front bumper and pleased that I left them off as the bumper looks cleaner without them. The Brumos 911's, of which this is a tribute didn't extend their stripes to the bumper either.
