lecky blue project "minto"

[jesus in the seat of a 5]

Eve folks, although im allways doing stuff behind the scenes with one thing and another , i rarely put stuff in here,so i thought it may be time to share some of joy that ive recently had with putting my rather nice phase 1 with bits of annoying tin worm and decals missing etc into a non rust , minty, new decal , new wheels, blah , blah , blah , rather much cleaner , straight, minty phase one..., if you look i have old pics on my profile of what she was like, it doesnt show the rust etc in detail but you get the idea.. i have, courtsey of myself and the chap conducting the body work taken heaps of updated photos and once i know how to i will keep uploading them and updating the thread.. with the bits ill be doing upto world series etc, hope the thread wont be too boring and when i get chance {baby and self employment allowing} ill upload some pics with chit chat...jeebus.

Ta matt, its personally my fav colour for a phase 1 and they have got to be getting very rare in true lecky blue etc with decals..

cheers dave, i was pleased with whats been done so far , the chap doesnt paint cars anymore....unless he takes a shine to them, which was a compliment i suppose.

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

That's a good idea

Matt, I think I've told you before that I can honestly say yours is one of a very few Phase 1's I look at and think: 'I'd actually like to own that'. That's pretty big, seeing as I'm not a fan of the Ph 1's

And what's wrong with three Coupes? Why not try and buy all of them

I'm kind of a big deal Bill Burgundy

Top work Matty, looks super dooper

cheers ben..., tis taken me long enough..., loads more to do yet, ive been outside doing some more bits tonight, ill put some more pics up when i get chance.

[jimmy_b]

looks like you got a very good colour match there.
just out of interest, how much did the paint work cost?
i cant find anyone around here that will match the origeneral electric blue paint work. they can only do a lighter shade

Hi james, paintwork , bodwork , paint and putting the decals on etc cost me £650 in the end, the terms and conditons were..."you get it back when you get it back".., ive held the old wings upto it and its near to exact, i think he told me he used the paint code in the bay. If you look the tailgate hasnt been painted and up close , you cant tell the difference in paint at all bud..., as for your project , unless your going the whole hog which is very exspensive , how about nimbus grey or some other grey for the kit?..could be a subtle twist to things.....

[w35ty]

saw it at the world series... and it looks amazingg! nice job you done there mate love it!

i did think about a nice dark anthracite for the kit but im getting quotes of 1500-3000 to have it painted

it was good to see it at wrs, makes mine look soo different lol

[Ashy]

Looks mint, just a shame about the orange peel on the bonnet mate

[Alastair]

Jeez, im am passing yours next wednesday, can i see you off for a cuppa and a sneaky look around the blue beast?

My phase 1 was all silver, bodykit is gloss black now, looks fresh and up to date. The price people are wanting for your kit to be painted is taking the p**s.

yeas al`, off course mate , allways good to catch up, you have to wear your white shorts and sockss in order to get a cuppa though.....
