Jokes aside, glad to see this wasn’t too serious.

Especially as one build I was following went from this:



To this. :icon_cry:



Via this:



Sorry, it has been ages since I replied to your build.

I liked the build summary video and the fact it was a family effort at times. :cool:

I also liked the take your car to work clip, as that confirms my experience of car building:
- You notice all the things that you don’t like about the car, because you have built it.
- Everyone else just sees a car you have built yourself and says “Wow!”.

I’ll watch the range testing one when I get the chance, as the other replies suggest it is great.

Take care and good luck with the rest of the bodywork/paint.

Cheers, Paul. :)

That looks like a scary fire! Thanks for the comment!

Electric SuperCar – It is good to see you are reaching the point of picking a colour. :cool:

I was also glad to see you wearing your mask more the last video, compared to the previous two.
(I don’t want to nag, but fibreglass and paint can really mess up your lungs.)

Anyway, on to the fun stuff…

First choice – British Racing Green with Signal Yellow highlights.

As seen recently on the Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR pro



But then, I would say that, wouldn’t I?



Second choice – Electric Blue

As seen on this Jaguar F-Type



Good luck, Paul. :)

Looks like a well attended show, you should be proud of your car getting so much attention. Something different will always attract more attention than the average Ferrari or Lambo !
I'd guess your around 1350 kg's or under !

Good to see you get some great positive reactions at the car show. :cool:

I'd suggest you pull together some of your best 'Before' and 'After' photos to show people the work you have done.

Something like this:



As I am sure by the time your car is in paint it will look like a production car.

Good luck, Paul. :)

Good thought!

Colour choice is very good, suits the car really well. Whilst I've painted many cars myself I usually end up with some orange peel. My local body shop charges around 200 pounds for a thorough mop and polish which is money well spent, the results are amazing !
