View Full Version : Sneak Preview (WIP Pic)
Hey peeps,
My cars been off the road for nearly 10 months. I got the shell back yesterday. It's not finished yet, but at least the engine and ancillaries can start to go back into the car. It'll then be taken back down to the bodyshop for him to fit the rest of the parts and give the car a good polish.
I'm really happy with the work and can't wait to see it all together. It's touch and go if it'll be ready for PV :|

It's going to be close to try and get it done for PV. To be honest, I can't see it being done in time, but you never know.
Heres one of the Interior.

Due to the lack of doors, boot, bonnet and bumpers the exterior doesn't quite look right, so I'll get those bits on before I put up a pic.
The best bit about it is it's due to go back to the bodyshop to get polished, so the paintwork isn't as good as it will be when he polishes it :D
