Have you ever had a standard Strut Brace chromed Mark ? I have been quoted £100 to have it done but think it's a bit steep. Nice work btw.

Well been working on parts for this every night his week and had a good day yesterday and a very good and busy day today fitting etc etc

I managed to pin the crack and got the fibre glass all done ready for rubbing down then chemical metal for more strength,

Looks amazing.

How do you go about painting the engine?

Keep looking at those Bonnet struts Mark ... From having none and the silly rod for the last few years, then actually getting some fitted for me, and to top it having them colour co.ordinated as well. One spoiled lad. Thank you so much again Mark I can certainly see the effort since seeing you last.

Another big evening got home at around 5:50 pm the mrs had flatted all the chemical metal so it was paint time

How easy is it to take this bit off? I fancy doing mine but was afraid it would turn into one of them nightmare jobs.

^ By the look of it he has left it on and carefully masked around it, could be wrong but pretty sure that's what he has done.

Yep you could be correct there .... Close inspection looks like it is still on..... I ASSUMED Mark had taken it off and that was just paper to protect the area....

[Mopedmark]

Hi guys yes I paint them in situ easy enough if you know nightmare if you don't

Not to shabby from this

[ZEUS]

Looks brilliant Mark

[Mopedmark]

Perspex panels tomorrow and a few bits

[MrChow]

Wow, mark you're a wizard Would love you to work even a tiny bit of that magic on mine

[veilside z]

As Mark said, a few more added extras tomorrow then its back off to bed for a year. What a Fantastic Transformation he has done for me, although the photos are great , the bay is much more dramatic in the flesh. I arrived to take some more parts earlier only to find Sharon, Mark's significant other polishing all my car up. Bless her what a lovely job too as the paint especially the carbon bonnet, was dull and flat. A totally dedicated lovely couple with an eye for detail. B) B)

What do you mean "off to bed for a year" ? It needs using
