Jay, haven't had a look for a little while, but the wagon is looking VERY NICE.

As the others had said, colours are great.

The wooden wagon floor is also a great idea.
A nice effect that adds a bit of class, but not too way out.

Look forward to the final stages.

Yeah Trev its always good to see all your hard work
in the bodywork paying off with the paint turning out

off knowing ive built the whole car on my own is priceless

especially since i have no auto trade skills its all self taught

To be able to say "I did it myself " is one of the best confidence boosters and you certainly have gained my respect and the respect of a lot of other forum members I'm sure for getting in and having a go and coming up with some good results.

Well done and keep going

lookin good, when are you going to show us another full pic of the car? so we can get a real idea of the colour combo.
keep it up, luke.

Hi Luke there is a couple of side pics on page 17
l would love to push it out in the sun to have
a good look but my drive way is sloped down
and with no motor in it yet

i wouldnt get it back in
the shed

matches · Post by **matches** » Sat Dec 12, 2009 7:57 pm

oh yeah, forgot about those pics.
i'd be itching to get it out too

my driveways only got a slight slope and its hard enough, wasn't bad with no engine/box though

.
i'd be stoked with the shine you had off the gun, but this final finish is amazing

(might have to get you down to spray mine for me

)
cheers, luke.
