brucers GT/LET wip.

That paint looks proper nice, good job.

Isn'T fresh paint just lovely?

Need to sort them tie bars out though ;)

Yeah, when doing the sanding the paint will dull until you polish it up again.


Car looks great, should be epic when finished. Good luck with it.

update

with needing to start building the car back up, i began with the essetial parts of the car that normally get left grubby and unseen.

first on the agenda was the steering column. a full strip down, paint and rebuild was in order to get it back to its former glory.

stripped it all down remembering to take pics of which clips and brackets go were. cleaned all the parts up on the wire wheel at work, to which is now annoying all my work mates as thats all they hear at break time now. primed it all then painted it black.

loving your work mate,
like the clean new painted look :thumb:
have some rep

Looks awesome, taking it you wont have a dash it in.

Great work Brucer. Loving the clean new look.

Dunno if you'll be doing it but I'd also get the steering rack done in silver or black that would really freshen up the bay.
