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.

That's a good idea :D
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 :cry:
And what's wrong with three Coupes? Why not try and buy all of them :laugh:

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

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"..:laugh:, 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...:scratch:..:)
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 :cry:
it was good to see it at wrs, makes mine look soo different lol
Looks mint, just a shame about the orange peel on the bonnet mate ;)

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.
