Vermillion Sprint Part 1

#1 Post by OSG »

We've just got our first Sprint. It's got a bit of a way to go yet but she's all stripped down now ready for respraying. Even with no windows, seats or radiator, the car is aching to go!

A big thanks to Tom and Hannah for the incredible engagement / advance wedding present. A special thanks to Nathan, Ken and the coke spoon for all their help this weekend stripping her down and to Derrick (who I've not met yet but who is very kindly helping us to move her to the paint shop).

She's going to be a beautiful car when she's finished!

No probs Owen.

Glad the old girl is going to a good home. It will be a great Sprint when its finished.

Sorry to correct you, but Derek is the bodywork Guru who has agreed to do the work on the car, not the transportation.

I had a great weekend playing Dolly's. Thanks again to Ken and Nath for their help.

See you at the Resto Show.

Tom.
