Can't wait to see yours on the road Mick!
Its going to look terrific and old/original too!

Got your Mot yet?

Yesterday, I rushed out and sprayed the front of my van, and being honest, it was the worst paint job I have ever done.

I had not done enough prep, and knew it, which was worse!

So this morning, I went out nice and early and did the prep I should have done to start with, and had the paint on it again before 0900hrs.

I am pleased with her result, it looks fairly period, its not perfect,
but neither is the XK, but they don't look too bad for it.

It is a joy to drive, as it seems to put a smile on everyones face!

Lorry drivers yell out praise, and kids shout out nice things, just about everyone grins, and wants to talk about it, and one lady said she thought it was the closes thing she had ever seen to a drivable dinky-toy!

It really gets more attention than the XK.

That in itself makes the work worth-while.

Here's what it looks like now:
