I was wondering about that too - close up it looks like hammerite
Great bus though.

Paint job ? its been done ok not perfect by any sense but its a black metaflake i think that is not sure!! but the vast majority of the work is very good but as you can see and we all know it probally hides a host of sins .

without doubt the most comfortable car seats i have sat in currently trying to get all the electrics connected on them . seems to be a lot of wires for only 2 buttons that are on there . think they are Scorpio seats but not sure maybe Granada Indeed Andy looking like it will be a good turn out . and hopefully lots of mk3's fair old trip for you though great breakers not far from show for mk3 4 and 5 the old fashioned type where you take your tool box in and take off what you need always worth a visit. its a little gold mine for me could spend a fortune down there

coming on well

[chilledphill]

i have been thinking about front bumbers spoilers and lots plastic welding and filler. given the width and depth there seems to be no limit to what can be achieved i have been bidding on a alfa 147 front spoiler assy not sure if i can use it or not tbh but should be fun trying but is there any reason why you cant. maybe Audi ford Bentley as long as it looks good and not like those jap import bat mobile things with a added 3ft long bumper

[Vandalism]

nice mk3 wellers and body kit sounds

[chilledphill]

at last my 7jx15 mangles all done with a set of 205 60 15 looks a bit naughty on the front but think i will get away with it !!!
