Well it's the same age as my missis, i bought some retro style hi-top puma's the other week, put them on and a back to the future T i have and my grey hoodie, got in the car felt like i was a 80's teenager (though im almost 30) :eek: lol
Need to sort them rear 1/4's out and get the billy shocks re-furbed etc and get working on the underside refreshing it.
Oh the joys....:roll: :d

Your love it when its finished, or at least how you want it.
Fresh paint will be great.
Well i think my plans have grown, as i was going to just do a face value re-store, but im now swaying to the full strip down and re-build type of job...
Just had a call of my painter, he said he's getting quiet, so has said to get everything ready to go in to paint in two weeks!
So basically i have to sort a few things and drop it to him and then either just before Christmas, or in the new year the car shall be painted.
Lots of plans to put in motion yet.....

Good news there then mate, are you doing both rear 1/4s then? some people say they're easier than just doing the arch panels as there's less to smooth in.
When mines eventually ready for a respray (one day lol) I think i'd go for full 1/4 panels.
Nope just repair panels, as the guy i know said he's more then confidante he will get them perfect!
And i trust him too.
haveing trust in your painter is a must to be fair i wont let any outher painter touch my nova or cav as simons work is so good and his eye for detail.Quote:
