Maybe we should start a register?

as far as I know there is :

Mine
Pete Wiseman
Sho ryu Ken
Lee Duke (Hazzardcounty100)
Adrians 70 (WIP unless he caves under the pressure)
Maddog

Have I missed any?

Sorry for hijacking your thread Adrian

Dave Kent?

Question:
Who had the 70 with the blacked out front bumper?

Phil, start a "Sticky" for the register - maybe James could help.

There is also a Guy called James in the village next to me with one - a 68 with 69 metalwork.

There is also Mike Barr in NI on the board as BufordTJustice (Star car Hire).

Back to the thread - I like it as it is - you will get loads of "Experts" telling you this is wrong, that is wrong if you do a DOH.

I think I have a white Bumble Bee if you go that route...

Pip,

a sticky is a thread that "sticks" at the top of the area in the forum. When you click on "General" look at the first three/four threads. They are called stickys.

Anyroad, fancy eating some doughnuts on Saturday morning mate? I'm going to see me mota

Its coming along well Adrian. Bulkhead all done now (removal of all AC holes). It shoudl be moved into the paint prep stage any time now. I am going back down to see it again on saturday.

Trouble is, I keep getting tempted by what colour to paint it. The back stop is as original - white. But, I am thinking about Burnt Orange, Sub Lime, and Light Blue Metallic.

Big No no's are black, and red. Definately out.

I am hankering towards white with red BB stripe, with white 15x7 steelies and dog dishes.

Anyroad. I think you did the right thing with your car. It looks lovely. Are you pleased with it???

Sublime with a burnt orange interior would be different (over here)

My car was fy1 originally...never liked it,that's why it went a darker shade about four years ago & then had it airbrushed...Got plenty of stick for doing that but its an individual thing isn't it,whatever you do people will criticize, Water off a ducks back to me

I will probably do it again in another couple of years, depends how bored I get. I very nearly did this

I can understand that. We had a thread on here some time ago asking about what was involved in huffing a 440, and the bottom line seemed to be dont waste your time and money

Got any more pics of yer car???
