Amazing car and I can't believe how quickly you've transformed it - proper skills. Something I've noticed is that the 383 numbers don't stand out really clearly as they are grey against a black & white background - perhaps a contrasting coloured pinstripe around the numbers would make them more noticeable? This is meant to be a constructive suggestion, not a criticism! Don't worry mate no offense taken in fact I was talking to a mate then other day about just that there may well been a pinstripe round then lettering by then time in hits then road have to see how it looks when I get it outside properly |

Every time I've seen the results of your spraying, I've been astounded. This is no exception.

As usual, a stunning level of workmanship here Mark.
Could do with some bigger rear tyres though, you know - beef it up a bit! ;D

amazing as always. I love the way you can paint an entire car in less time than it takes me to think about doing an oil change.

cheer's guys got a bit more done today just one side and the roof left to flat and polish now and the paint side of things is finished .  got the exhaust back on made a slight change to the end of the exhaust as it just had a 90 degree bit of pipe that was straight cut and it just looked very rough so I had a pair of 3.5" tail pipes from a previous job and the escorts exhaust happens to be that size so I cut back 6" of pipe and welded the tail pipes on in place of the bit that was cut off result being a much neater looking exhaust . I also painted the exhaust black stopping the pipework and box from standing out so much .  all the lights are now working and the old sealed beam candles have been replaced by a pair of clear halogen units they will be getting better bulbs at some point but for now they just have stock ones which are still 100% better than what it did have  |

Have you got crosshairs in those lights? Been looking for some for ages, but haven't been able to find them! Kinda resigned to having to make them, such is life. ;D

Wow...
I hear a certain yellow SLK is coming in to have a couple of bits rectified... if you get bored, I'm pretty partial to a bit of metalflake!
(Just kidding - I want that yellow but wow. Paul pointed me at this and it looks bloody awesome.)
