    Finally got paint and laquer

    At last my project has got paint and laquer on today, Im very impressed with the depth and the shine on the paint work.








    Obviously it will a bit of the shine when it gets flattern down but i am buzzing at seeing it with the right colour as opposed to the primer colour.
    Cant wait to get it back. :D :D :D

    Yeah believe me there is going to be alot of waxoyl going into this car ive baught 2 gallons already. As for cost i cant say yet because i dont know, Its a very good friend of mine doing it and ive been rewiring his workshop to bring the costs down. The work ive had done so far is:-
    New front panel
    Rear Arches both sides
    Inner and outer sills
    Floor repaired in a few places
    New sound deadning throu-out the car
    Full glass out respray of body.
    Still to do:-
    new radiator
    new expansion tank
    Samco hoses
    Respray doors, bonnet, boot, spoiler, bumpers and wings.
    New window screen
    Refit interior
    Stonechip and waxoyl
    Fit a new williamsclio.co.uk sticker (most important job)
    so ive still got a fair bit of work just yet. If anyone is intreseted in have similar work done i can recommend my friend as being a true craftsman and is very good at what he does. Workshop is in Nr Spalding, Lincolnshie.
