Re: Back in beige
Back home in time for a lovely roast lamb lunch, cooked by my girlfriend, and then unloading from the low-loader with some help from her brother and dad...

That would be a great shot to feature in next year's DDK calendar !
Another lovely shell restoration.

Re: Back in beige
Wow looking really great Jamie.
Now comes the fun of getting it painted - although seems a shame to hide Barrys work!
Maybe just a clear lacquer for that crafted from metal look.
All the best

Re: Back in beige
Perfect day, I'd say. Proper lunch and a beautiful shell, home safely.
Congratulations and good luck with the rest of the story.
Cheers, Richard.

Re: Back in beige
Hi Jamie - car is looking great. Mine's off down to Barry in a couple of months and I like the idea of the lowloader you used. Exactly how difficult was it to get your car on and off? Like yours mine is currently on a dolly.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Kieron.
