Benn, when would you be flogging your smoothed grab handle? as it would be a bonus if i could get that done the same time as the bumpers. Also getting the inner arches spruced up with some more toyota supa white!
You can have it today if you want, it needs a rub down tho as i've notice you can see the ghosting of the rivets, so a rub down primer and paint would be perfect for it.
Cheers mate, you about 2moro at all? i can pop down then
Will be after work.
Billing!!
Sounds like rick is getting a bargain,
Just flog it him and let him sort it from there!lol
Keith, will be at billing if i can get on a stand!
Join mig, and this time come with us.. ;)

Off for paint.
Its a top car and a credit to you Dan... If Id have known you were serious about parting with it Id have been in the queue with the others ;)
Nick.
You really did not have to do all this for me before i collect it Dan. A quick wash and a set of speedlines would have been spot on.
Nick, its not a patch on yours mate, looking abit tired these days, all the spraying was done about 5 years ago, paint starting to come off gear box etc looks a mess, may try and tart the box up in situ, engine needs to come out really lol
Looks pretty good to me fella... Nothing I couldnt have sorted in a weekend in that case , Its the build quality that counts and you and howell seem to have done a good job by my reckoning! :)Quote:

Nick.
Nick its under the wrinkle paintlol, it was air brushed, oddly enough you are the second person to ask me about that this week!.
Gutted! I've been thinking black chequer over red so similar to yours etc. Was hoping to find a ready made stencil to use but to no avail so far. May have to get in touch with an airbrush fanatic then lolQuote:

Kev, it wasnt amied at you dude.
Funny you should ask about it because im going to see the guy that done it for dan tomorrow, could ask for a price if your interested. The guy is a top quality sprayer. have a look at his site, his work is amazing.Quote:

Twag, thought he only done bike stuff these days?, if you want stuff done i can put you in contact with the guy im using in b'mouth/poole, does concours resto stuff.
Dave was sound, but been going over my car today, feck me there are so many runs in the laquer!
Your right hes mainly into bikes but i spoke to him today and he said he might be able to sort me out.
I wish i had runs in mine lol, parts of mine doesnt even have laquer on it!
if youve got his thats guys details, ill give him a call, just trying to get some quotes at the moment.
phoned irmscher today, there trying to sort me out the original graphics for the sprint c.
lol, need any parts powdercoated homo? as im off to the coaters in woolsten thursday to drop some bits off, though im really thinking of getting the strut brace done matt black with a heavy glitter/ metal flake effect?, or shall i just go matt black?!
Matt black sucks. Sell me the brace.
If you have it done with a glitter you are more of a southern faggot than i though! Satin black FTW!Quote:
