About bloody time........

Been priming/sanding/painting since bloody October!!!!!

1 coat of etch primer
4 or 5 coats of high build....cant remember how many
3 coats of colour

So,today the poor Mrs gave me a hand dropping the Ghia shell onto the pan......





Aaaaaaand et voila













Finally i can say i am rebuilding rather than restoring


Poor old Mrs was a nervous wreck tho in case we dropped the shell or scratched it
Who needs fancy lifting gear when ya have a mad highlander wife

great work Mario
love the colour

looking good mate!

Very nice fella

Bet you're chuffed to bits, Mario. Good work fella

yu missed a bit !

That looks cool Mario.
Are you keeping it all one colour?

Now the fun and expensive bit starts....putting it all back together lol!

Thanks folks

She is staying all one colour as im not really too keen on the two colour thingy.

Hopefully arranging delivery of my pedrini wheels today so they should be in later this week...

And the scary bit of ordering bits for her has already started....bits for Ghia's are fucking pricey

Looks lush

Phwoar! Beautiful! I do love a freshly painted car!

Pedrinis are going to look cool.
