Right lets get down to it......Is it Brooklands or Magenta??

If it's going to be Brooklands...I'll give you the specification that I want now ! Saves me having to doing anything to it when I get it!!

Well put, that man. :)

TBH, the colour doesn't matter as I know it's gonna be stunning when it's finshed.

Christ, we're on page 2 already & I haven't even got the Sprint yet. :lol:

Seriously (I can do serious, sometimes), PFJ was sold well before it even hit the spray shop. I have already had a few enquiries for the next project but I/we are not going to commit to selling this one until after it has it's new coat, which will be the end of March beginning of April next year. :D

That shell looks pretty good from what can be seen of it in the images, so here's hoping that the job isn't too full of little surprises. :thumbsup:

Yep!, it did look solid John. Hope I don't find anything too nasty, I don't think I will. [-o<

Honeysuckle!!!!!!!!! There are a few other colours I want to do before I get to honeysuckle Ken.
