Right long story short, I'm not happy with the respray on the red shuv so i have 3 options;
1. Come to RCS in the blue one (with a roof rack ) and finnish the red one properly to the high standard i really want and will be happy with.
2. Put the red one together MOT it and come to RCS in it not happy with how it looks. After RCS strip it again and give it another respray.
3.As 2 but not respray it, sell it on the bay and get something else. Desperate but an option.
what do you guys think? at the mo I'm bias to option 1 but its me and i change my mind like normal people change air in their lungs!

No question. Youve got to finish the red one to the standard your happy with or you'll always wish you'd put the extra time in.
Bring the blue one to RCS, its cool and I would mind a look.

the blue one is ace of spades as it is!
like andy and ministrone said, if you rush the red one then you wont be happy with it, you might as well save the time, chill out then do a job you will be happy with at the end!

If you put it back together for RCS i'd think it'd be a waste of your time,especially as you'd have to strip it back down again.You might as well re-do it whilst it's as it is and do it properly instead of doing "half a job".
Its got to be right after all the hard work you've put into it.
Don't even think about option 3 or we'll all gang up on you at the show!!!
You've got a perfectly cool car with the blue one so come in that (so to speak!).

Bring the blue one and finish the red one after RCS. Finish it to a standard you are happy with, if you bosh it together quickly now you'll regret that you never finished to a standard that you are happy with. The blue one is a show-stopper as it is, stock-as-a-rock to begin with then a couple of weeks later BAM! t's perfect! Selling the red one isn`t even an option. Don`t forget how jealous we all are of them both  |

Go for option one. There is nothing worse than starting project wanting everything 100% then doing a gash job to finish it for a set date. You will end up loosing your motivation on the red one if you have to strip it and redo it. Anyway the blue one is cool as flip ;D ;D |

No Brainer  Finish the red one in your own time to a standard you will be happy with, don't rush it just for us  ;D Blue one is Cool as Fook anyway and epitomises what Retro-Rides is all about ;D See you there Dom |
