superb work, you will need to convert your front room to put it on display. It looks too good to use!

Thanks for the comments! All I can say is all the credit goes to the guys who've done the work so far, Cris Birks who stitched the shell back together and Gavin Jones who's made it shine, alot! Sal, have you thought about the painted headlight rings? Mark has just done his, and Roland has them on his '68 too. I think they'd look awesome!
I don't know what some bits will be like yet, not sure I want to go that way but maybe needs a bit more investigation, cos if it looks OK then who knows... But you know that you don't need bumpers, right?  Uh? Whats the plan with the interior btw
I'll maybe get some photos. I have some black basketweave bucket seats and have had a rear seat and door cards trimmed by Bernie Newbury to match. Headlining wise it'll be a 1200 (I'm told) style one. After it's back and on the pan it has to go to Essex to get finished off. The idea is that it doesn't stand out too much and looks a little like it did from the factory at a glance. will have to pop round and see it for my own eyes at some point
Come over anytime, always welcome, you know where we are and you may have some good ideas, you've done this before! hope you both have a good christmas.
You two too, first year in the new place? you will need to convert your front room to put it on display. It looks too good to use
Have you been speaking with Mat! I feel there could be a conspiracy against me. |

Some more pictures of the paint, I stilll haven't got any of the interior bits we've got and looking at it I've not said a lot about the car so far so if I can I'll add something soon. Any way some more green car...   |

very very nice Whats the plan with the interior btw,? Cheers, Kev I wanted it to be like it was originally but a bit different if that makes any sense so I got Bernie to trim the interior to match some front seats I got.   Although I have a mirror which is OK I'm looking to see if I can get one that's perfect so if anyone has a perfect or very good right hand drive 11185751P to sell please let me know...   |

When someone first mentioned him as a possible painter for the car it was just after I saw the square so it was an easy sale! He's really put a lot into the car and it shows, I can't recommend him enough. We've been lucky with the car to have people working on it that have wanted to get it right. |

Sal Amazing, knew it would be good with Gavins work but this really works, cant wait to see it up close. Good Luck and get that man of yours to help out rather than looking at himself in the reflection |

I'm not sure I can imagine that. That's OK though as I KNOW I don't want to see that! |

It's been a busy week in various places, Gavin finished the paint, Cris has now finished the repairs on the pan and I went and picked up my gearbox on Friday from Pete at Cogbox, I don't know what the set up is but apparently it's what I asked for and has some good stuff in it, fine by me! Some things are best left to the experts. Once the pan's back it's off to Deano's VWs for some assembly work and then it'll hopefully be time to turn it back into a car again. I saw the pan last week but still haven't seen the shell though I think it wont be too long until I do and that can't come soon enough!  |
