Thanks guys, your right I can't wait to get the car home on Saturday and start putting back the brightwork. It will be 8 years this January that I started getting the parts together for the build, I can't believe it.
Stiffy, the blue is from a 4 year old Jeep Cherokee that belongs to my business partners wife. Every time I see it I love the colour and have not been able to find something else I liked as much. The strips are Wimbledon White which is a colour that been around for ages.

Regards.

Congratulations Mando, looks like it was worth the wait. I like the colour looks like it will compliment all the other shiny bits beautifully. I just got mine registered last friday and I thought 2 1/2 years was long enough.
Cheers
Lionel.

Great Mando

Blue looks great...boy did I have grief over the colour decision

I've been at it for 18 months I think, but who's counting. It's all good fun........wow 8 years, I'm not that patient!

Mine's getting the final polish today, pick up next Tuesday.

That looks Sh!t-house Mando. Tell you what, I'll do you a favor. I've got a nice matt black and primer colored body that I'll do you a straight swap for that horrible blue and white one.

Cheers
