Well done on all your hard work

Have to agree with ratbox on the blue I think blue is the new green

Speaking of which I guess you are staying with the grey with that front end

I like the style and colour trim on the seats.Probably as close as you can get to original looking style seat trim without having any NOS original material to fit.In my eyes it would have to be the best looking period style retrim I've seen :D .

And a good example to show that cars that that are extensively rusted out ( like this one appeared to be) can be brought back from a parts only car to a stunning example again.

A very good effort there............ :D :D :D .

I like... a lot!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
I can't think what to write here so this will do.

Got to agree, that is the best looking car I have ever seen on this site.

The car is a credit to all involved.
