It's looking fantastic Mick! Keep up the good work! (and let me know if you're painter is any good...)

[Mick124]

Thanks Sambo.. After all this work and all new panels... Painter will have no choice but to be spot on and perfect, especially as the colour will be black #601

I have faith... Test panels will be done before they get to the car.

The panel work is as close to perfection as you can get. i'm sure the car will look stunning in black.

Sambo, who did you use for your paint work?

[Sambo42]

I used Trou performance panels in Sunshine. Did a good job but took absolutely forever. I need another alternative....
