As any fule do kno, 'Water based' was a Derbyshire rapper (Nige was a big fan) - he was destined for great things on the Dales scene until he was cut short in his prime - he died tragically young - choked to death on a wurthers original
The simple things you see are all complicated

1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
More progress today


Really loving the colour now I've seen it in daylight (but it isn't daylight in the above pictures)
Neil's also prepped the front wings now so the plan tomorrow is to paint them and one door, then the shell on Thursday and bumpers Friday
Coming home from work has never been such fun!

So how much do you reckon Mark's car will be worth when it is finished ?
Looking great Mark, like the exposed carbon area on the backside of the bonnet !

Re: 1987 3.2 Carrera Backdate project - Sladeys hotrod
Oh yes - most have arrived from Bootsy and are next to my bed. Colour for deep red strip was ordered from him this morning
Do you know anyone locally who'll fit them?
Tried a company in Mansfield but they were quoting £250 which I thought was a bit stupid. Contacted another company in Nottingham who weren't interested in fitting anything they hadn't produced.
I'm planning on dropping into another local company to me with the decals with me so they can judge it for themselves
I may be doing this just before CLM - which gives the paint another couple of weeks to harden

I'll ask around Mark, most people I know produce them so may have the same view on fitting them.
