Finally Finished with a Great Ending.

Finally after a 6 month slog, the saloon is finished, and can't think of a better way to see out the end of a project, than a photoshoot with Adrian Brannan (Ade B - http://www.adrianbrannan.com/carphotography.htm) and Dougie from Total Vauxhall.

I wasn't expecting so much work and effort to take place by Ade & Dougie, a good 5 & 1/2 hours worth of photography and setting up, not to mention poor Dougie having to push the car about on an empty stomach.

The location was perfect, roads were dry, could've been warmer and less windy and I should have known better and taken along cleaning materials rather than having to resort to removing my socks to wipe off the splashes from the sills. lol (dedication Ade called it - I call it lack of common sense :roll:)

Also down the other end of the shed a Sierra Cosworth was being photographed for a Ford mag. Like I say, the location was perfect.

I'll let the photos say the rest........

I'm really proud of what I have created and the response the car is getting. After all it is, a 1.0 Nova Saloon, standard pee-shooter exhaust, basic interior and 21 years old - but I love it.

Cheers again to all the comments and look out for it in TV in the coming months.

Shaun.

Edit - Huge thanks to Ade and Dougie for their time and effort - Top Blokes!
