Looks fab! Just out of interest how much did you pay for the re-spray? Was it all over - or just parts?

Thanks

Kev

This was the reason it was painted. I bought it from a dealer for a bargain price as every panel bar the roof was scratched. I like getting tatty cars and bringing them up to scratch.

Wheels were also powder coated and i refurbished the centre caps. I had bought new ones but they were to small, so i took the old badges out, used the new badges on the old caps and painted up in silver. Ford moondust silver i have in the shed matched a treat. Hub centres and brake calipers were painted and arches cleaned and treated with bilthamber underseal and wax.

Good work. Hopefully see it if you attend the Kirkcaldy meet on the 11th. See what I did there?
