Build up pictures

[T21cky]

Now then mr Percival, I'm building one of these! Looking good pal, I'm way behind you though as all of a sudden I'm busy at work, anyway can I ask what wheels you used, did Brian get you them??
I'm still unsure on my colour scheme but it's going to be something a bit different like yours! ( not red) I'm saying that but who knows yet.

And would I be right in thinking you did a 430??
Thanks
Rik

Hi Rik, yes I bought my tyres through Brian BUT they are only MWS ones. The only reason I went through Brian was because I went for 5.5J on the front, but 7J on the back....and 7J was a special order that got shipped direct from the MWS factory in India, which required a minimum order, plus they were cheaper going through Brian because he ordered in bulk (although still b***** expensive) I am not sure if he is doing wheel orders now.

No, I have not done a 430....I built a Domino Pimlico Premier for my wife back in the 80's.

Not red eh? I'm intrigued....mine actually is red but Rosso Bordeux, a genuine Ferrari colour, but a very dark red compared to Corsa....I think it shows off the chrome better.

Brian has a powder blue one in their shop at the moment....can't say I like it much....but hey, what do I know I am colour blind anyway, so shades don't mean much.

Hope this helps.
Perce

Yea it's the wheel price that's driving me mad at the moment!!
I've a few colour options in my head, but I say not red, but as they say never say never.
Off white, or
Grey or grey ish blue?????
You just watch , it'll end up red!
How longs your build been so far?

Cheers

Build started last September, but it spent 4 months in the spray shop, so actual build started in January.

I reckon it would look good in BRG

I pulled the car out of the garage this morning, as I have a couple of days off so trying to get some work done. Some photo's of progress so far:

That is a beauty of a car. The DNA kit is top notch and the colour you have chosen (via SHMBO) is excellent. What lowering springs did you choose in the end may I ask? Did you stick with 30mm all round Eibachs?)
My compliments.

Wow! The pictures with the wires on completely changes the stance of the car. Its looking stunning. Are you going to the zedfest in August? Love to see it in the flesh.

Thanks Dave, yes I used 30mm all round, but I used "Cobra's" from Holland. The front looks just right....but of course I have not had a chance to check the back as I have not dropped it of the axle stands yet.
