Hi Y'all

Hope you all had a very merry 'hic hic' christmas! And are looking forward to the New Year!!

Its been a while since i have been on but its time to introduce you all to our Sprint - Leroy!!

He's having some cosmetic surgery, botox and the like, skin peel and lift!

I am adding a few pictures for you to have a look and will be keeping you all updated on Leroy's progress! He will be having the usual - sills, jacking points, chassis legs etc!!!!!























As you can see some work has already been started but progress is slow at the minute so will keep you all posted

SHELLY

looking well.. keep us updated with the progress please


Phil

Your hubbie does fantastic work. I look forward to seeing more progress.

I think my hubbie does fantastic work

Thank you for your great comments regarding his work - they will put a smile on his face!!!

I shall be posting more photos sometime in the next few days!!!

SHELLY

Good luck with it, I'm it will be a cracker once completed.

Steve

Hi Y'all

Thought i would bring you up to speed on LEROY'S progress Hubby has done lots of work and lots of photos so beware this is a bit pic heavy!

Gonna show you some photos of sills being sorted, Chassis legs going on, etc etc

Sorry for picture quality guys but got a crappy camera - we've just got a new one so quality is about to improve.

Sorry about the amount of pictures but hubby has been extremely thorough with everything!!!!!!

Well here goes the pictures speak for themselves.......



















































































Well that's it for now folks its taken me hours to sort these pics etc - I think the pictures say it all will keep you all updated on further progress soon!!!!!

SHELLY

Fantastic skill and progress. Great to see another Brown one saved too.

One can only but admire when a car that is pretty rotten in places can be brought back to life with skill and patience. Keep up the good work.

Steve

Wow,that is amazing work. I wish I had half his welding skills! I bet a lot of people would have said that car was beyond repair. I can't wait to see the next lot of photos!!

Hey Y'all

I think Hubby is working faster now that he's got the prospect of an increased workload ahead in the shape of my car now its had its bumpy ride!!!

He's done more work to LEROY and we've got some more piccies to show you - once again apologies for the quality of the pics - if it hadn't been for the poor quality there could have been a lot more photos to show you but the detail just isn't showing through on the older camera!

Most repairs done to the front of LEROY and now in primer i will be posting some more pics at the weekend of the next stages!

Well here goes see what you all think now!?





























Well thats me done now folks

SHELLY

Wow! Is your husband a professional panel beater? How does he do this so quickly (and so well)? That is amazing progress and the standard of work is awe inspiring!

Agreeing entirely with what Nick said there, that is stunningly good-looking work and so quick as well.
Fantastic stuff, that is sure to become one of the very best cars out there.

As for Hubby being so quick - he actually started LEROY'S resto a couple of weeks or so before christmas, its taken me some time to get some pictures sorted and on here so it just makes him LOOK QUICK! He's a bit too thorough to be that quick!

By the way he is as you are thinking a professional at this sort of work!!!!

SHELLY

Looks lovely - as so much has been primered, are you taking the opportunity to change colour, or is it going to remain brown?

No we will not be changing colour -

He will remain as his name from the song suggests 'LEROY BROWN' - You know the one it goes ' he's bad bad Leroy Brown baddest man in the whole damn town.....' - I think, anyway
