New work was started on the car last week,

Completely striped out ,only thing left was the dash.

 

about feckin time!!

 

I know vinnie,
and some more of her loaded and ready to go to the paint shop for the works.

 

Heres a few i took down in the paint shop at the weekend,
roof spoiler and rear glass removed,

side glass and anniversary skirts removed and all blemishes removed,

 

It's going to be some job when it's finished, seen it a few weeks back all stripped out.
Can't wait to see it done stephen.

 

Only you Kildare culchies could strap a car down like that

You know my thoughts on this car Steven,i love it.although i still maintain you should have just Turbo'd the V6.

The conversion on this is factory a real credit to Phil,he has a knack of squeezing 1.8Ts into things.

 

What a great car, Love it
Credit to you steven

 

looking forward to this....

 

is it me or do those wheels suit the car?

I agree Vinnie.
Wonder would they be bought at the right price

 

I was down in the body shop yesterday evening and forgot the camera ,the boot ,2 doors and bonnet have been removed and the new bumpers ,trims and skirts were all ready to be base coated today.New front bumper moulding with the running lights had been cut and rewelded to suit the bumper with the number plate indentation in place.

 

Thats a very very nice motor.

Is it staying silver??.

No problem shane,
Will get more progress pic's from paint shop tomorrow and put up a list of all the new bits that are going into this project.

 

Looking good Stephen should be sweet with a new coat of paint

Very cool project Steven. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

 

Looking forward to this one Steven if the plans you described are anything to go by.

Excellent project Steven. Good luck with it

Well mike hope it plans out as i hope almost everything has arrived.
Went and looked at alot of body shops and their work and was very impressed with 1 guy that done alot of complete colour changes to cars and i couldn't tell that they had been touched .So i went with this guy.His name is Greg O'Reilly and he's based in Carbury Co.Kildare.He does body work for 6 main car dealers in Kildare and he was prepared to paint every piece as asked and i didn't have to take the car back until i was happy with all his work.
