That looks mint man - can you remove it and put it on my car for me ;)

Do the coppers give you attention for this car? Also a Calais badge on the front guards would look tip top

Resprayed

Ok its been awhile due for an up date dont realy know where to begin , alot of work has been done to the car to get it to where it is now ended up having a fair bit of rust and body work got repaired and completely cut out also having other things done like removed passenger door lock full brand new rubber and seals kit bailey channels and all, vs flat style fuel lid, had the standard grill and a genuine group a grill painted incase i feel like a change also, all the moulds ect getting refinished, new aerial, new front and rear lights, bonnet struts, guard bolts, door strikers badges ect tryed to pretty much fix or replace anything and everything i could think of, had to replace 2 of the doors on the left hand side aswell due to damage and rust, parcel shelf also been repaired so 100% road worthy now incase i need to ever go for it again. to much stuff to list its been gone for months so its hard to remember everything on the spot. All the work has and is being done by Dale from Ward Repairs & Custom Bodyworks, all thats left to do is drop my engine in and smooth and paint the bay then it should be where i want it
