Big thanks to v8ndy and miller for help along the way :smokin:

[Markey Mark (BD)]

I'm liking it mate, looking really good;)

[raj]

hmm you love it or hate it.! i love it and hate it too:confused: :D

im not keen on the brown colour as from the pics it looks like a non metallic colour.
dont get me wrong, i like brown, but would have gone for the more metallic/pearl type browns. you see alot of french/german cars repainted in this colour.

still, top quality finish :agree:
:)

[Andrew Cooke]

Viva La Retro, is that the UK equivalent of the Japanese "4x4 offroad happy":scared:

As you say, Marmite, I like that it's basically standard, but distinctive and not another "cookie cutter" car. You need that kit trimming in leather though :laugh:

[wrightygtt]

can really appreciate the hours put into getting it to that standard. Looks superb.

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

Wow dave paintwork looks spot on... such a shame ur so far away from me otherwise you would have both my 5's to paint!

[Matt Cole]

Bloody lovely dave and very different! Top work...:agree:

[Sparkie]

a bit of wood effect vinyl wood look lovely in the place of the standard GT Turbo sticker.....;)

[series111]

New poster! (less than 10 posts)

nice dave just tried to get mine going yesterday idling problems going to have a go again today mark....

[djinuk]

i love it , looks spot on

[Trevhib]

Would look so much better with the right wheel choice and colour, and suspension height. Top work though :agree:

[michael tierney]

brilliant job!!a phase one grille would look superb!

[BriC]

Is it just me, or was my comment deleted? :confused:

Anyway.. I like the bonnet sticker Dave :)

[Winston]

[Ashy]

Looks mint Dave, can't wait to see it in the flash!!


Fancy bringing it to the rr day?

[dave-sbs]

thanks for the positive feedback guys, its taken a while doing it when i've had the time but fairly happy with the result.

Possibly ashy, will know in a week or so..still some stuff to sort out on it yet

[Adey aka Ewok]

deck it on some polished bbs alloys or on some wide 13s and it would be sweet as a nut. looking good tho i like th ebrown and white combo but the white wheelspush it to far for me

[rs250nut]

Fair play for having the balls to try something diffrent, looks good. How many hours did you put in to the bodywork?

[dave-sbs]

far too many !

A new pic, going back to the standard grille ..think it looks better?

[raj]
