#spluffgazm!

[adw1977]

Looks brilliant. Just as well really, after all the build up!

[Datsuncog]

 

Not enough likes in the world.

 

Stunning. Absolutely delighted for you!

[mat_the_cat]

Gorgeous! That is all.

[JeeExEll]

Looks fantastic Dan, look forward to seeing it out in the sunlight.

 

(When do the Goblin Works Garage wheelarches go on?).

 

Don't forget to jigsaw out a hole for the glass sunroof before the headliner goes in.

 

Great to see it at this stage Dan, been a long struggle.

[puddlethumper]

I'd clean the lick marks off Dan, saliva is no good for paint. Same with drools.

 

Looks furkin brilliant.

[junkyarddog]

Looks flawless.

 

Chuffed for you mate!

[eddyramrod]

Gorgeous.  I'm looking forward to meeting it!

[mercrocker]

Knowing how good my Cowley repairs look, this is going to be breathtaking.... 

 

You literally cannot see where they have been.

It should easily be back home by then!

They've done a blinding job on it! Proper craftsmanship and attention to detail. They've got a customer for life now too with me. I'm probably going to get them to do my Volvo's roof and bonnet repainted and it's dented rear arch.

It's great when you find someone this good!

[yellowperil]

Wow!

That was worth waiting for.

When is the X pack going on? ☺

[Bren]

Looks fantastic.

Some of us are waiting for it to get warmer so we can get out our rattle cans....

This went into a heated spray booth, then was left in it again to stay warm and dry off.

Fuck knows what they cost to run but I bet his heating bill isn't cheap.

I think a yoghurt truck just crashed

Shurely a Design Developments kit is where it's really at?

 

[BorniteIdentity]

Wow. A brand new Ford Capri. Not something I ever thought I’d see in my lifetime.

 

Congratulations.

Fucking Nora! Who decided to put that into production!

[Tamworthbay]

Worth the wait! Making me jealous again.

[stephen01]

Can honestly say this seems to be worth the wait and will be a tough one to match.

Runs off to find my spray can!

Words fail me.

Just had my insurance renewal through for this too. Down on last years price, now £123 a year (classic policy obvs) which even includes European use and full breakdown cover with homestart. Not bad at all.

 

 

 

Quick Q,

 

Now the cars been painted should I send the V5 back for a colour change. Now or later?

Shouldn't matter too much as it won't see road use for a good while yet but should I just do it now and have done with it?

[nigel bickle]

Nice one mate

 

The V5c will be going back after May for a tax class change, so I'd do it then. You've more than enough pics to prove its kosher - if asked. Doubt that'll happen though

It's already had the tax class changed to Historic Vehicle. Did it a few years back when they started the rolling exemption thing again.

[DeeJay]

That would look great with a nice Starsky and Hutch stripe.

 

 

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

Shit the bed, that's nice!

 

A pleasurable summer refitting it awaits.

Go stand in the corner! Your no longer welcome in my thread!

[egg]

While you're time traveling can you bring back Pamela Stephenson from the 70s too?

 

Ace job.

[eddyramrod]

Next job: Joloke's Shitestang, also Miami Blue.  

[Dick Cheeseburger]

Needs slamed with banded steals and a kozzie lump.

 

 

 

 

 

Not.

 

 

It looks fantastic.

 

The second you get the car back on your property, make sure you get a ridiculously high agreed insurance value, making sure your insurers have photographic evidence of just how perfect it is. I'm sure you've spent crazy money on it, but in that sort of condition, it's worth more.

[AndySnapper]

Fantastic! Absolutely bloody fantastic!

 

Great to know there are decent companies out there especially after all the hassle and costs you have endured. These people seem to share the pride you also have in doing the best work.

 

Hopefully you can relax a bit now and just enjoy the rebuild.

 

Really well done Dan!
