Looks better with bonnet and boot fitted:
What a big day today was:- 16th June, 2009. 12 weeks ago, I put my car into the paint shop. Today, she went on a Tilt Tray and was taken to the place where the bling will be installed.
I posted some pics last week, but the doors and bonnet were not fitted and the final flow coat hadn't been sprayed on. These pics., show how the car looks today. I can't imagine that it could look any better, but I have been told that when I take it back in 6 months time to have it rubbed back and buffed, it will look even better. Hard to imagine. It had it's first bath today. Pissed down on the way back from the painters when it was on the Tilt Tray. Golf tomorrow if it stops raining, then Thursday I will continue polishing the side pipes and hopefully, fit my wheels because I'm sick of being rubbished over the 'push arounds' that are on it at the present time. By the way, the current steering wheel is only a temporary measure also. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...bra_Small_.jpg[img] http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/data/500/Rear_view_of_Cobra_with_boot_and_bonnet_attached_S mall_.jpg[/img] http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...ray_Small_.jpg [img]http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/data/500/Cobra_returns_to_Neils_Workshop |

That is going to be a beauty when you get it all finished. Those push around wheels look great compared to what I used when I built mine. Ron :) |
Congratulations Baz, $hit that looks good. Make sure you show us some pics with wheels back on.
Regards. |
Really nice Baz. Those wheels fit into the arches well too ... are you going to spray Stoneguard inside the wheel arches?

It's going to look great Michael. Very purposeful! Like the original Cobra, definitely not a hairdressers car!

My brother is a police senior sargeant and he has an MX5! The comparisons between his new MX5 and the Cobra are not flattering. I see that the latest MX5 has a device under the dash to simulate (the missing) motor and exhaust noise ...

The stone guard was spayed on under the guards before the colour was put over it. Baz |

Geez Baz - Id hate to hear the whinging if you could "imagine that it could look any better". :rolleyes: Id be over the moon to be that pleased with the job (as I assume you are with everyone who has done the work on your car), even if it did take 12 weeks (in the scope of a build project that isnt that long) and less inclined to call him a "prick" in a public forum (and whinge further about not getting "mates rates"). :confused:
Cheers |

As far as mates rates are concerned, this was raised by Michael (Tabey25) and I was merely responding to his question. Baz |
Fair enough - Never BS the customer. At the end of the day you look to have a great paint job though so thats the main thing. Whats the revised completion date?
