This is some colour in the flesh and not really shown off here at all. The car itself is well minded, i done a job on this last year clay and seal and fell in love with it then :cool: :cool:
Not a big thread this one, been too cold to be standing around taking pics so just got on with it :o
Hard colour to picture for 50/50's and stuff and there is some serious amount of dust on the camera sensor so loads of black spots on these photos :( but hopefully you enjoy the read ;)
What we had to deal with:

Machined a section to test at the end of day 2 but didnt do much so decided to go by hand and suprisingly it was much better, went with a heavy wire wool and polish to a lighter wool and polish.
