My 2

I like the red exhaust pipes. You could have started a new trend there.

If I were you though, I wouldnt paint the brake discs red.



Looks good, so you spent so far, £300 on the car, £250 on bits & £250 on a spray job = £800?

I doubt you'd get anything for £800 looking like that so bargain.

Start saving for an engine swap next

Don't think he's particularly bothered about the exhaust as he's another one to go on.

That is some stunning paintwork!

Hi,

The car looks awesome, where did you get it sprayed? Did you supply the paint or did they?

Thanks for all the comments. Was sprayed at a bodyshop where my brother works - they allowed me to use all the tools and materials I needed and I just paid for paint, box of discs, top stop and booth time.

Colour was mixed on site using the Super Red II (Chilli) formula using Dupont 2-pack paint. 2 coats - 1st covering whole car (1ltr) and then 2nd going over whole car again in a more concentrated spray (1.5ltr)

Baked for 35 minutes then done. Only took about 15 minutes to paint both coats.

Also got my insurance sorted yesterday - £249 Fully Comp - Sureterm.com couldnt believe it, cheapest i'd been quoted was £450+ so well happy.

Are you an OAP? My excess is more than your premium

Is it a classic car policy then?
