nemesis360 0 Posted October 2, 2008 Blimey Graham, when you get the bit between your teeth you really go for it! Nice work. Good to see all the underside bits getting the treatment, well worth the extra effort. Will look really clean underneath too. The trouble with me is I look at stuff and think...while Im in there I might as well do that bit...and that bit...and that bit so I just thought sod it do the whole car :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VR6 South 0 Posted October 3, 2008 Graham it looks like you've been really busy. I'm looking forward to seeing the results. What colour paint have you decided on? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nemesis360 0 Posted October 3, 2008 Cheers Guys, Graham it looks like you've been really busy. I'm looking forward to seeing the results. What colour paint have you decided on? Hi mate hows things? I was thinking of having a different colour under the bonnet, like nimbus grey, gloss black etc but decided to spray it the same as the body colour (Rover nightfire red) the mods will make it stand out enough anyway 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
