ive wanted to get my hands on that for years!!! its a blank canvas! all depends how long it takes me but and how many colours you want to involve but something like the lexus roof would be about £400-£500 (25 coats of material) lol, I know, I like it how it is, kinda classic looking, but think it needs somthing too make it really pop! Would like a full pannel job but needs a little bit of body work on the bottom half :-( nowt major tho. Do you pre plan the patterns or just let em flo onto the car?

normally just let it flow, i find a big fat herbal fag and a constant supply of fine line tape and coffee gets the old creative juices flowing! shapes and stuff jump out at you sometimes before youve laid them out... planning first may work to though!!

hey rodit! was the nissan yours? its still alive but is over due some work. keith who owns it has bought a 190 on juice and currently going though the broken bits on that first. its was pulling a massive three with three beer fatties in it when they caught the rear panel on the floor on then burnt a pump or solinoid out i think. i took it out for the eve one night, such a laugh, my mates were almost wetting themselves at the looks we were getting going through our high street on three. il see if i can get some current pics of it up for ya

Yeah i built it up at Ian's years back after Filth stripped it out, melted a pump completely at RTTS to the point of moltern copper balls coming out of it ;D ;D
Was running 3 accurates per pump to stop them locking out and i always found the super trap i fitted dragged nicely.
Would love to see this at the gathering.
Was chatting to Chew and Arnie at Bug jam a couple of years back when i had my Merc estate so think i may have met you?

I may have to send the car down to you so you can have a play don't suppose your going to the retro show tommorow are ya??
