The original badge holes need welding up, the iron cross is gonna stay!
Don't panic dude, when my car's finished I'll knock a few out! Yer name's at the top of the list!

New steering wheel has left the states but has not yet arrived, why? are you after one?

If you are it is not exactly perfect condition but then that would be reflected in the price!

Is the car REALLY going to look that good dude that it'll make you touch yourself?????

Good work bro, is it finished yet? Why not? What about now? Need any help? Why not? I'm not useless!

If it looks as good as it does in my minds eye then yes!!!



I am starting to panic about how much time I've got left! The plan is to shoot the paint sunday and my "to do" list aint got any shorter!
I could do with the help from a couple of good fabricators and half a dozen body work guys!

More pics dude, done much more on it?

Rick

River Dart is quality spent a weekend there last summer with the kids great fun

actually guys i'll only come along if moup is there

I can always be there for the entertainment value!!

What day are you guys thinking?? I can do Sunday but not Saturday

Bloody hell guys, I really appriciate that!
I am so far behind that I could do with all the help I can get!




The plan of attack is:


Friday
Strip the car to a bare shell, finish all the welding and start rubbing down

Saturday
Get everything fillered, smooth and in primer

Sunday
Shoot the paint

Monday
Bolt everything back together


If anyone can spare any time I'd be very greatfull. We need as much help as we can get on the friday and saturday to get the car in bits and rubbed down! We'll be starting around 11am friday and be working till late!




It will not be at my house!!! We'll be at my work which is Satin Stainless, Bridge rd industrial estate, just past the mercadies garage!

I can do part of Sunday and possibly monday, I will let you know dude!

Now that plan sound exactly the same as mine for the Panel........

But we should be able to spare a couple hours on friday night for you dude

dude i'll prob pop in after i've painted on friday night or early sat morning to drop off the comp and the gun....then i'll be back later sat afternoon for some rubbing and thank mate you have been a great help the last couple of days....got my wings safely tucked up in the family room with a nice punget smell of thinners

That's cool guys!
If anyone's coming round, give me a ring (numbers in the members section) when you're there as the doors will be locked (I'll explain some other time )!... It's top secret!




Rich, you seem quite busy mate! I don't want you to worry about giving me a hand and end up not get yours done!
