Is Missy becoming white then :lol:

Looking good stevo, you must be getting alot of pleasure out of it by doing it yourself :smt023

The wheels look Kool

Will it be ready for calander?

the white is a ground coat that goes on top of the primer to seal it and for the pearl coat to reflect off of.

mmmm, am i giving too much away?

by **Monty** » Sun 19.08.2007, 10:54

Pearl White

BTW the pickup is looking good, been thinking about getting an Old Mk1 escort van but there hard to come by so my second option is a Mk1 transit van :-D

No road tax and cheap on insurance.

you can't beat a bit of old skool baby.

im off to laquer the caddy and do missys last colour coat.

oh' and no she's not going to be white. :twisted:

nice chop shop, Stevo. hope the dust amount is small enough to not mess up the top coat.

looks as though you have shaved the door locks (and maybe boot lock?)? are you putting poppers on them?

I can only say good on u mate for doing it yourself, love to do Pinky myself in the future so i maybe contacting you 2010 for advice :-D

What colour did u do the wheels? I did my 2 spare wheels myself to use for trackdays.

BTW nice one with the naked women :wink:

i`m sure the misses appreciated that lol :lol:

all in good time my wee lec buddys, all in good time.

thanks for the kind words but as for now im full of whiskey and happyness as i have colour coated and put on the the first of 3 laquer coats and she looks the shizzle. :twisted:

i almost cryed. :cry:

by **stevo** » Mon 20.08.2007, 00:05

monty. i done the wheels with some halfrauds pee-jo steel grey. they have a bit more blue pigment in them than your normal anthrasite(sp?) grey to contrast with missys new body. as for the final colour im going to post some pics after the laquer has dryed and i've colour sanded and polished the whole car.

1 week.

im grafting like a wee monkey with the business right now and the enemy has had me fixing up our livingroom for the last couple of weekends but i hope to spend a day or 2 working on her soon. i'll post better pics once she is out from under those shitey lights and take them with a real camera other than my phone but can i just say in the flesh she looks wow! :twisted:

by **Sy V** » Mon 17.09.2007, 03:11

She certainly does look "WoW".

Dog's bollocks Stevo!

Nice work, Bugs!! :smt023

by **Rambo** » Mon 17.09.2007, 07:55

I knew you'd opt for the orange. After all, 21 out of 29 people can't be wrong.

Looks good so far but I'm sure will look far better in the flesh or taken with a good digital SLR
