Thanks Tom,
Yeah it’s got a great reflection... Not bad for a primer coat

Wow Laurie you've dragged that post up from awhile back  :lol: 

 

Its amazing how circumstances change over the years, being patient & finding the right people has been time costly but well worth the wait.

 

Finally i have found a great painter that doesn't charge Torana OR Covid TAX  :)

Looks bloody great.

It still isn't too late to plunge a big cutting disc into those rear arches and make some room for flares and wide track, BTW. :stirpot:

NEVERRR.... lol

As much as I love the look of a A9X style Hatchback... It seems like everyone does it.

I’ll be one of the very small percentage of people who can’t bring themselves to cut it up.

Looks good Aaron, but always does when you update.

Especially the flarelessness, keep it up

Now the roof is done all the body panels have gone back on for fit up, it seem like it’s been ages since I’ve had the body back together

With the way that body looked when you first got it, I never would have guessed it would take that much work to get it to this stage.
