YOUR MAKING great progress. as long as you have a goal time in mind you will get it finished. a member who had the curren front end and was planning to do the awd turbo conversion didn't have a goal time for when he'd complete it and several years passed more than 4 im sure) and never finished

Man that is an awesome color! Can't wait to see more updates, regardless how slow it is. Sometimes that's just how it goes!

That is an interesting colour, kind of blueish-grey looking. I like it.

Now it looks more greenish-grey. I've seen that color before, think it was on a TVR.

Its a blue grey with a slight metalic in it, the colour tends to reflect whats aroind it slightly, on sunny clear days it looks very blue, on dull days it looks almost battleship grey, it probably looks green as its reflecting the grass a bit.

Starting to put things back together now. the bodywork needs a bit of flat polishing to get it perfect like a mirror, i have done the roof and it has come up amazing, well pleased.
