LMM on the 13th cant come soon enough mate

 

Price and availability in the end - banking on a lottery win to get the last of Bren's GBs but with Christmas and the cost of the respray might just have to wait until next year - if something good comes up secondhand once I have the cash I may reconsider but VFM seems better than the STI brembos

 

Thanks Jon,to be fair a LOT of effort has gone into the job and it has come out very well with the c+k motors team being over the moon with the end result.
It is a real head turner now with everybody that comes through the workshop wanting to go and have a close look and admire the finish,to be perfectly honest it even steals the show from the 550 marrinello that's parked along side it!!
All that's required now is the HD wax and the application of the sealer coat before the pickup,but I'm off work until next week so it will coincide with that now.

 

Speaking of the 550, did you get the brakes from it to fit my car

 

That's a nice shade of blue

TX.

 

I thought about until I remembered the bloke who own's it is an ex SAS major and now own's a security firm so my life means more than some brakes I'm afraid Jon
Would be just the job though,oh while we are on the 550 i can tell you that part of the job is to replace the bonnet due to rust and the cost of a new one is a shade over 5K

 

Yeah, but ex-SF blokes earn rockstar wages these days, especially when they run CP companies so I'm sure he can afford it

 

BTW - the SAS aren't all muscle - they still watch X-factor

 

That's for sure mate,what made me laugh was he didn't even ask a price just do this/that and the other without a care so I would guess he is more than loaded,different world to you or I though.

 

Certainly is, I'll tell you a few tales when I pick the car up

 

Tidy m8,I bet you have some tales and a half to tell!

 

 

vey nice jon, is she all ready to go home yet???

wiley

 

Lookin gooooood

 

Just waiting the final coat of wax/polish and then I'll pick her up on Saturday

 

I hope everybody likes what they see,as Jon says it will have a final clean down followed by a waxing and then a protective life shine seal put on.

 

like the look of it - just not sure on the mirrors

 

Front pic pleeeaaasssseeee

 

I am

 

Looks stunning. I think the mirrors look better now as they fit in with the rear spoiler.

 

Polished

 

Colour looks superb mate. Almost ford imperial blue

 

Here's another polished one Jon,hope you don't mind but Trev[BLU] wanted a front end pic

 

It's still a DBM basecoat, the rest is down to the lacquer

Can't wait for some sunlight/sodium light photo's

 

I need to tweak the alignment of the FMIC, when I do you can have the pipework for painting

 

I saw that when we refitted the bumper,it's surprising when you make the paint work look really good it highlights all the little not so good points even more.

 

I don't think I'd be able to sleep until then...take care on the way home dude

 

When I gather all the engine bits and send you the pipework for painting I'll at it

 

Don't scratch the paint whilst doing so

 

I have carpeted the garage to make sure I don't
