MY car :D Restoration pics

[Nuggit 0]

Can't find the original thread, so a new one!

 

Rescued this puppy from the car auctions, decided to do the best of everything to it, it's now 'my' car due to spending so much on it, and believe me, you don't want to know how much. She's only a 1.8 16v, but that might not last. I've put so much work into her, it's untrue.

 

As she went in. Gary@EPIC Paintworks is a god. I'll plug the guy (not literally) until the sun goes down. Beautiful job.

 

The skimming stage from the back, couple of parking dents/key marks. (The windows did get taken out)

 

And from the front, Gaz's cup of coffee is irrelevant. She was a cup stand for a short while.

 

Outside EPIC, ready for going. Loaded onto our transporter shortly after.

 

Front lights in, looking pretty damn sexual!

 

From the side. Don't get used to the rims and the ride height!

 

And from the back with the M3-style lights, courtesy of Richard @ Venom. Another top bloke.

 

The rims, as ordered and arrived beautifully from 'retro wheels', 2x2" dishes, 2x2.5" dishes, gold bolts. Top guys to deal with as well. Really nice chaps.

 

In addition, we have :

A mint dark trim, (restored by me), FK Coilovers, Lupo wipers, badgeless grille. Wheel 'baskets', alternate spoiler and badges to be painted 'glitter-rainbow-flake-black', electric spoiler-type sunroof, new roof-strips and rubbers all round, small integrated boot build coming shortly (also by me), just what I can remember.

 

I've got this horrible suspicion she's going to end up with a G60 or Audi T lump under her. Let's see ;-)

 

Edit : The sills have been painted with stone-chip, they'll be going yellow later, just letting it cure a bit, so it does look a bit high.

 

Edit #2 : Might as well plug us properly ;-)

 

Outside EPIC, undercover

 

Loaded on our wagon. We used the winch, due to laziness.

 

And randomly, a picture of my incredibly rare Series 4 Innocenti Lambretta, only 1500 made for Saudi in the 60's, this is one of only 6 in the UK. For anyone who cares, that's my R1 to the right.

That paint job is looking pretty darn sweet. I wish I could get a re-spray so badly! Look forward to seeing how this car progresses!
