Looking good I like your direction and I like a few period mods. The wheels are great I need a set for my S. What is the origin of the rocker cover? I wouldn't mind a Morris one. I am just off to see if I can find that paint stripper you used listed on ebay I think my gt will get done quicker if I use some of that. Cheers..Rocker cover wise i was after something from the 60's but decent ones are thin on the ground and tend to ask silly money..this one came up on the bay..the guy had a few with different logos..this suited and is apparently the only one..Same with the wheels i was after something unusual these came up needing refurb so worked for me..Paint stripper is very strong and will definitely do the job..just make sure you have plenty of ventilation as its pretty potent... |

Lovely! I do like a Mini van - this was "George" - cobbled together in the early 90's. I wish I'd kept him... although he did sterling service as a pet hearse for a few years after I'd sold him. (Resprayed a more appropriate colour!)  |

Shiny bits are looming... Untitled by Further prep.... Untitled by 2 Weeks and hopefully home.. That's a great shiny colour on the roof, it's going to look very classy in it's new paint .  . Looking forward to seeing it when it comes home . |

What colour is the roof? Id assume its black, but it looks almost like very very dark red/brown. Awesomly shiney either way.
