SiC Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Mid colour change...Shame that it wasn't stopped there. Looks quite good like that! (Well compared to what it is now) Was the purple painted over the top of the black and Harvest Gold original paint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRT22R Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 That's a great collection! The VdP looks fab. sharley17194 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharley17194 Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 It was harvest gold base, then someone undersealed it...so i glossed it in wilkos black. We sold it in gloss black and the dude stripped half of it and painted the Harvest gold so it returned it us half gold half black. As he'd spent so long cleaning most of the black off we decided to paint over the harvest gold in Purple. I think the black was taken back to bare metal and then purpled....i guess you will find out when you do paint prep. Best driveway paint job we ever did!Shame that it wasn't stopped there. Looks quite good like that! (Well compared to what it is now)Was the purple painted over the top of the black and Harvest Gold original paint?

Squire_Dawson Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 What happened to original number plates DPN 90K? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 They do look nice. I was thinking the other day that the black and white plates on it look fairly clean and modern. I don't suppose you still have the dynamo and regulator box for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharley17194 Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 I dunno what happened to the plate I'll have a look in the garage. And yes I have a dynomo and regulator box. Squire_Dawson and SiC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharley17194 Posted November 10, 2018 Author Share Posted November 10, 2018 I'm glad I started a random thread so you can see how my projects go. I was browsing the Internet when I came across something interesting. Quick phone call, a viewing and hand over some dosh and I finally have a work shop! So, maybe... Just maybe... My projects will become less random..who knows!!! First I need to move 6 lock up garage and 8 cars in. Shame it's not big enough for all my cars but price was right and it's better than what I had. holbeck, Asimo, gm and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartacus Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 That looks like a good start to de-randomisinga few projects. Result if it was painted like that when you got it too. sharley17194 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharley17194 Posted November 10, 2018 Author Share Posted November 10, 2018 Yeah that's it we moved those two cars in tonight. I want to paint the floor then I'll hide as much of it as I can. I think I'll still end up doing millions of other things but I can focus more on single projects and its not going to be an issue if it rains.

sharley17194 Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 hahahaha I painted the floor last night so at least it can be dry before i start cramming it full. Got van booked for Sun to start moving my stuff over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharley17194 Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 Values have shot up massively in the last few years, our two are very much staying with us for a while. I'm liking the MG 1300 content, I had two in the 80's could still find a home for one now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
