Some more parts have arrived.

Ordered the SS bumpers primed rather than polished which will suit the look we are going for.

Chrome work is back and looks fantastic.

That's what I said!

It has been a loooong time getting to this stage. If you look at page 2, third last picture, I remember standing there thinking 'what the fcuk have we done' as nothing was going right and I couldn't see us being close to finishing this century.

We are getting close now though!

Hi Ted2, it's a custom blue. We spent about 4hrs with the painter mixing different colours until we landed on this one. When they painted it we had them spray a colour card (so it's an exact match), write the code on the back and mix a spare litre in case of any touch ups. I think picking the colour was one of the hardest parts of the entire process, get it wrong and all the hard work looks like crap.
