unfortunatley since the pics were taken a few imperfections in the paint have shown up so its going in for a repaint again in the next couple of weeks, also the chrome under the bonnet is starting to go off so a few days polishing is on the cards AGAIN.

some of you may recognise her from boxhill this weekend as the one with hydraulics , i was a little embarrased to take it there tbh due to the state of her and the fact the hydro's arent working quite as thy should be yet ,but as the weather is getting better i will have the chance to sort everything out before the next outing .

thats about it .

due to a few imperfections (no fault of the company that painted it for me) the car has had to go back to be stripped back to bare metal on the front end . hopefully will get her back this week so can get the rest of the car ready to show .
