How come you have grey doors and guard? Were they prepped first or replacement pieces?
What colour is it going to be?

Plus, it was badly faded, lots of dings and scratches, and the roof had been cheaply repaired before and the clear coat was all flaking off.

...and paid the painter a visit yesterday. The doors are looking great after having the holes plugged. The bonnet was a mess but its perfect now, and the dented sills are also repaired.
