Is this sex on wheels or what :D

Its been for a month being prepared and now looks amazing, the finish is better than new with a really deep gloss.

Aparrently they've had people in asking what the 'exotic' is :D

Trouble is that I will spoil it with grubby bumpers etc

edit: great pics Tim - can we keep them to 800 wide max ?
Cheers, ChrisPR

Looks like an expensive job - can I ask how much? I am about to part with between £1000 and £1500(max) for a full respay (2 colours on the VS 8) ) and a myriad of rust treatment. Mine is estimated to take 3 weeks. I was quoted £2500 by one place :shock: Many many places did not want to know about an old car with rust holes.

Is the colour brown, or is it the lighting?
Looks a nice paint job, will be even better when engine is in and car running.

Trust you to notice!

I was a little suprised when I saw it, It isnt the red I was expecting, but after a month on the body, its a bit late to mention it :D

However I can honestly say its unique

Looking good, Tim! Don't worry about it looking browny, the red is more like that of the early 1500 dark burgundy which is a much nicer colour than the Mica Red, IMHO.....

I didn't mean to say brown in a derogatory way Tim. Hats of for you making it individual.
It is certainly a superb loking finish. Can't wait to see it.

With those seats and that unique sprayjob you'll be looking pretty pimp!!! Can I ask where you (or anyone else) got your sport springs?
