    Also decided to go for the Ceramic coating after the respray. Got it on my Hyundai and it's worth every penny/pound. A proper shine that looks better than cars sitting in a showroom :o

     

    They've been in touch today to ask permission to take her as an exhibit on their stand at the Oswestry Classic show. That's before they've even started working on her. They reckon she'd be a talking point. I've said yes of course even though I won't be in the country to be there myself but I'll see the pics ;)

    Can’t wait to see the finished article, post pics if you can.

     

    Don't worry! There'll be pics galore when she's done  :lol:

    I've told Ryan that I insist on lots of pics of progress so that I can still be in touch whilst away swigging copious quantities of Greek Nectar in the sun  :blink:

    Thanks GT-4grey and Chris. Yes I'm nervous but expectant. The guys that are doing the work for me actually have E-type Jag #2 in being reborn from the ground up and she's looking amazing :o

     

    My original three spoke wheels are also getting the treatment and the original side repeaters and indicators are going back on. She's gonna look original and mint when she's done  :thumbsup:

    L 975 EPB (my baby) has gone in today for "the works". She's having a full respray in the same, original colour, with any rust removal and dent correction. She's being rust protected underneath. She'll also be getting a full service with all fluids and filters being changed. I'm also having a full inspection of the suspension bits and pieces.

    I can't be too precious about not having her around for three or four weeks because we are off to Skiathos for a fortnight on Friday. They have promised to take lots of pics so that I can follow progress whilst drinking lots of Mythos in the sun B)

     

    Can't wait to see her in "as new" condition again.

    Hi ChelrGirl, didn't get as far as the triangle. Had a traumatic morning trying to get her started after 4 weeks of inactivity and hence a flat battery. Drove for an hour or so locally to get some juice in the battery then stopped for a shot of Shell V-Power and had to head straight to the Ponderosa to meet Jeffers at the appointed time. Did some miles and enjoyed them all so that's all that matters really isn't it.

     

    I could never do the Evo Triangle in the Celica as fast as I used to do it on the bike anyway :o
