This is the first layer of primer and body detailing.......

Just getting the surfaces perfect................

Edmund · 24th February 2006, 02:04

The hood and doors sidelined!!!

Ooooohhhh I'm feeling nostalgic all over again.

Do post more pics when you have time.
I wish I could go for a paint job all over again.

Edmund · 24th February 2006, 02:14

Thats gonna be one sweet rear that'll fill up peoples windscreens!!!

Edmund · 24th February 2006, 02:29

The guy [Murtuza] who's doing the rebuild for me has understood my levels of perfection...... he was explaining that to the guys at the paint shop too!
They said that they've never done such an extensive job on an old 800!!!

Can't wait to have her back on the road......can't wait........

That car is definitely gonna rock for sure... we can all see the sweat you are putting on it to make that a reality... ATB man.

The Paint was supposed to go on yesterday, apparently the booth was all booked up........ now we're scheduled for saturday night, well the good thing is that i'm off that day so stararmour and myself will be able to overlook the job!

Will put up more pics from the documentary soon!!!
