Hi Cal, I didn't think a factory style external only repaint in Acrylic, would be classed as being restored. All the interior paint and trim are original, plus under the bonnet and in the boot, under the car.

Although, you didn't say Fully restored :)

I am trying to keep anything I am doing as original as possible. As the paint was sanded down, I had to do this one ;)
