hi all ,brought my sport this time last year ,and i decided to get it resprayed after it was keyed up all down one side :cry: .Now im going all out to try and get her back to her former glory so while iv got alot of good friends helping me out to do it, im slowly making progress ,the respray is been done by a friend who dose it as a living ,while i redye the leather and try and fix anything else that comes up along the way ,the engine bay will be the last thing i do as im not sure what i can do other than cleaning her up . ill put pics up as i take them but here are a few of her for now ,your comments are welcome and any ideas too :D

Good luck.

I had the same thing happen to me last year, not to my sport but to my daily driver.

hi all ,
so its been a while, over a year in fact ! but other than the rear bumper and the bonnet I'm starting to put it all back together

its been a real learning curve and to be honest I'm not sure id do it again lol ,but its been very rewarding to do and i cant wait to get it back and on the road

and on that note I'm aiming to have it back the end of November ,iv got a few photos to show you all but there not the best as they where taken long after it had came out the booth ,however your get the general jist

iv got cream leather to put into her and im currently building/getting the bits up together to build a 2.8 stroker

nothing looks as good as fresh paint! I can remember (it's only been a month) getting mine back and putting the first coat of wax on! it's so easy! :)
looks good... good work!
