time for a little update.
now that i have finished the kitchen and the conservatory, i managed to get a couple of hours outside today.

thats both front wings primered and the same with the doors.
£1 primer from poundland is great for the first blow over to see where it needs rubbing down better.

its also great for playing about with paint designs.

got to start thinking about colours next.
black rear
british racing green front

and ideas.

British Racing Green front fading to black at the rear with a double gold stripe over the bonnet and roof

 

[coupe]

i did think of doing the roof and rear end black.
british racing green front and no stripes. lol

no chrome at all.
tints on the rear windows.

will have a think and a play.
unless anyone can do a photoshop job for me

Sweet. Have those arches been slightly flared?

This is awesome. I'm wanting one of these for a project. V12, supercharged....animal comes to mind. Don't think I could afford to build one atm though, when the Punts is finished maybe.
