Looking good Andy. Like your wheels, nearly bought the same for a build, wish I had. Look forward to seeing your car in colour soon.

all the interior is mk1 it dose fit well fit a bit of work and for me is worth the pain for the look. even the guy at the paint shop asked what year car it was and did not believe the reg plate. that's a tribute

forgive the pun

first day back off holiday car out in the sunshine what could be better. I did buy viper stripes but I think it would spoil it. I need a tribute badge or I am on the lookout for a GTO badge and some head light covers.

Very nice.

Looking good there! I bet you're pleased a big risk with black as it shows all the flaws but this looks really good.

Scottie22 · #9 17th February 2015, 17:49

Very nice indeed!

I agree black is hard to paint that's why its British racing green catches the light really well...LOL

jones · #11 17th February 2015, 20:20

Haha Doh! I have upped my brightness on my tablet and now I can see the green... and guess what... it still looks great!

Scottie22 · #12 17th February 2015, 20:53

If it looks black, that means you've picked the correct BRG!!

andysharrock · #13 17th February 2015, 21:24

it dose look black as the sun goes down but in full sun its got a green metallic glint to it with a very deep gloss, I think I save the stripes for the next car

Tribute Automotive · #14 17th February 2015, 22:05

Wow that looks great Andy. Could I please use your pics on our website/Facebook/eBay etc?

I have another batch of headlight covers arriving next week.

Are you adding a grille?

andysharrock · #15 17th February 2015, 22:27

Andy - Your car looks great.

Especially given all the hassle you had with scrapping the first donor.

Enjoy, Paul.

PS
I've added a couple of your photos to the "Useful Info" thread.

very nice,Think I have seen single chrome lettering at the warehouse in the car section so I am going have a look first.

Great job Andy, and I love the colour.
What make/size wheels are they, they really suit it.

garyh · #20 18th February 2015, 13:15

Lovely job, light covers would finish it off.
