[quote="Mad Mart"]But I want another Brooklands next (the best Sprint colour). :lol:

Personal I prefer white Sprints, but I have to admit that Brooklands Green runs it a close second.

VYO 372M :D

I really was quite a fan of the chemical dipping I had done. I went the cheapest route (dip and etch prime was £1k), but they can also do Electrophoretic coating like they do on brand new cars.

I'm gutted Mart, not only have you done a cracking job on SFB, you've found another project.

I was hoping to reach a deal and convince you to take on ADA for me as your next project!

Oh well, maybe next year!

Nooo! I couldn't do that. ADA is "Smifter's Project". We all know you'll get back on it one day. After all, there's no hurry. :D :wink:

I've changed my mind...I'm going to have it sprayed the original Honeysuckle. Although I prefer Mimosa, there are plenty out there wearing that colour & Honeysuckle is quite rare on a Sprint.

OK, KDF now languishes in my recently restored garage (new kitchen cupboards fitted & floor repainted & generally tidied up). :lol:

A big thank you to David (djw113uk) & his Brother Michael for helping me to get KDF out of my Mum's garage & trailering it to it's new home. :thumbsup: Did we have to bump the Sprint round to get it in the garage, David?

So now the fun? begins. :D
