Car went down to the painters yesterday

Can't wait to get it back.

As I'm in no hurry ( so to speak ) he said it should be ready by next friday

When it comes back I'll get the headliner and vinyl fitted as soon as possible so's I can crack on with the refit

She gonna look GOOOOOOD !!

Cracking stuff Jules. Glad the door cards worked out for you. Yours is looking good.

Mine is coming together nicely also. My paint guy is going away for a month, few little bits of fabrication and some new valance panels and I shouldn't be too far behind you fingers crossed. See new pics:

Thanks Paul for the kind words m8, but it's not just my hard work thats gone into it.

Dazzy Boy did the welding

( the proper welding, not the Bananarama! that was done earlier by Stevie Wonder

) and Ruby Roo did the finishing touches at the last minute to straighten the sides out abit more than they already were.

( he has a better eye than me

)

Anyway, popped into the painters today. All on track to be ready by friday. These pics were all I could muster up before he had to get back to work. She gonna look goooooood !!

Yeah Bob, many a time I've had a coughing fit due to the dust, AND I wore a mask too ( most of the time anyway

)

A few new parts for the outside to go on, but not many ( locks, door handles, mirrors. Usual stuff. ). Thankfully all the trim was there and 99% of it cleaned up real good. 1 or 2 bits I've replaced, but I'm just glad I didn't have to do alot as the outside stuff seems to be the expensive stuff

A few new bits for the inside to go in which should complement the outside rather nicely.

Just glad I can finally drive it properly after all this time and effort.
Been well worth it tho.

Well Done Jules, Car looks Ace.

I did see a pic of your car Last weekend, When your Brother was down in Poole, Seeing his Bird!

Thanky kindly gentlemen for your kind words

Sorry for not updating the thread with up to date pics, but I wanted to keep it under my hat until today.

Just wanted to see people's faces when they saw it and realising it was my shed-of-Bananarama! that once was

It was nice to see and hear people's reactions.

I'm pleased with the outcome anyway
