the paint really is fantastic!

one thing that gets me is how straight all the panels are,story i was told was that it hasnt been on the road since 1973 showing 36k on the clock...guy who picked it up for me was pulled over twice on the way back with people trying to buy it

its looking like it wont make volksworld but may be at stansted show

Seems like a lot of pastel green cars go the same way paint wise (sorry about the lowered pic :oops: )

I've got the wing and rear valance sorted but the paint was slightly out from the resto so I've got to have some made up.
I'm definately going to the show Saturday, but I've got press passes for me and Guy so I've got to be there early and take
as many pictures as I can without people getting in my way. Are you going? If you are, text me if you wanna hook up.
