Howsit Guys :fencelook:

I have been quite busy recently :rollsmile:

I will have a nice update in a month :sorry:

I want to post everything at once if possible so just a little more patience :ty:

I made a few changes to my original plan for the car, hopefully for the better :idea:

I'm tempted to post what's been happening recently but I plan to make my next update well worth the wait :joy:

Good afternoon members :fencelook:

So I've been waiting on the panel beater to finish this car and thought it would take a month but now we're on two months :thumbdo:

However the car has taken time there to ensure there is no rust and everything is as straight as can be so :bravo: to the panel beater :praise:

I should have the car back next week where I can hopefully finish it in time for the Parade on the 6th of July at Kyalami :inlove:

But i highly doubt this will happen :nonono:

Here are some teasers of the car :joy:

paint still needs to be flattened and polished, this is fresh out the booth so the orange peel you see will be reduced quite a lot :rollsmile:

I know it's not the original "silver" as planned :roflol:

But I've decided the car is for keeps unless I get a stupid offer(which i doubt). So might as well make it something I want and I am happy with rather than pleasing everyone else :tease:

Hoping you guys dig the Lazur Blue like I do :inlove:

P.S. I got a whole lot of new parts from the dealers(clips, screws, bolts, grills etc) so the car will look quite nice once completed :ty:

Cheers,

Lano

Lazur blue :thumbs:

there was one at concours last year, with crazy low mileage

Yeah Mamajee's car from Lenz :inlove:!!
That was my inspiration when I saw it in 2011 :thumbs:
Will never be THAT clean but I'll be happy with my project :rollsmile:

Thanks guys for the positive comments :ty:

I like dark colours to see reflections and detail in the paint hence the colour choice, apposed to keeping it original in silver :idea:

He use to stay a street behind where I live. He's box is the cleanest I've ever seen. :inlove: He really looks after his car.
