That is superb.
My wife has told me to bring my 911 hotrod to you for a quote for a glass-out external repaint, I'll strip it and deliver the car on a trailer for prep and paint, and I'll re-assemble it; Champagne Yellow, but would like it done in cellulose. I think I've said this before on this thread.
What carpet is that please? Like the look and colour!

Thank you! sounds good to me the car looks great. No problem on using cellulose if you really want to but we can discuss this further later on. Were getting pretty booked up at the moment so if you want to bring the car to the workshop or come over we can have a good chat and look at getting it estimated and booking you in. If you want to give me a call sometime next week we can get something arranged. 01384 636459 or 07852 744911
Carpet is salt and pepper German Square weave.

Base coat is from RM and Lacquer from Lechler, both very nice products and give great results.

Took my yellow 911 as above to them today for a discussion and some thought before an estimate later.

It looks really smart, and as I intend to make up my own carpet set could you post a close up of how the edging was done.
Many thanks
