How much for 2 humps.......and don't be vulgar. They look like they would save me a lot of time.

Excuse my ignorance ...Price for 2 humps separately ? or a Formosa body with 2 humps ?

Gary - My guess would be for two humps separately to be grafted onto this.

Oxford - Come on, I've been waiting all Summer for an update on your build tread.

Yup, Paul, you are correct. And, there are a changes coming-up for Oxford1360. Once they are sorted I should have a good-sized garage close to the house from ~October. Progress should be much swifter from then on......

Gary, apologies for my lack of clarity. If you could let me have a price for two of the humps that you have supplied for the passenger above.

Thank you.

V5c Document back from DVLA a few days ago ...all present and correct . Triumph Formosa Sports in red ..no inspection required , so Happy Days !

Jeff sent me some pictures today ...I know Graham has seen the full set , so thought I would put a couple on here ...

The car has been sprayed in Polyester reface ...this will be sanded back and then the car will be treated to some 2 pack high build primer and sanded again ...

Jeff also masked the whole of the underneath of the car , engine bay , floors etc...so no overspray should make its way onto the restored chassis ...

Car looks good.

Although one of the photos may have accidentally broken the forums nudity rules!

I'm sure all the prep work Jeff does will result in a great finish.

Good luck, Paul.

Morning Jeff excellent work again , Geoff .

Another great finish, if you want your car to have a high resale value then you need to spend big on the paint.

It would be nice to get a ball park estimate for having a GR120 and a 250 swb painted by Jeff.
It will give prospective builders an idea on what to expect for a top finish.

I was thinking the same, earlier today.

Jeff - Great work as usual, the car/paint looks amazing.

Cheers, Paul.

I'M VERY HAPPY WITH THE WAY SHE LOOKS ...Jeff hasn't even flatted back and polished her yet ...so she's going to look amazing ...

Mixed emotions about getting her back and fitting her up .... excited and nervous ...

Laying down Paint is one thing .....but good prep to have a good base is another ...but you must be budgeting £3.5-£5-5k for a top up job surely?

Amazing is understated

Hi All, I am so pleased with every aspect of this car which has now culminated in the outstanding paintwork by Jeff.Seems hard to think that Gary and I had our first discussions about a build way back in January when it was only a concept, its been great seeing the project move forward week by week, plenty of first build ironing out issues to overcome which Gary has always discussed with me and he has managed to skillfully overcome.Some posts have mentioned costs involved and to be honest I had set myself an original budget which soon doubled and now trebled, this is in no way down to STS, Gary or Jeff but I am a bit of a perfectionist and wanted this car to be as good as it possibly could be so its inevitable that the costs would increase (the biggest cost was getting the wife a new kitchen as this was the deal with me having a new car

) Looking at the build quality from Gary and Jeffs paint work I know I will soon have an outstanding car which hopefully will create great interest and generate many orders for Gary. The finish line is now getting close and cant wait to be driving it.

Cheers Graham
