wow, that was a long thread! Great work though, that seems like an awesome bodyshop guy youve found there, no doubt she will look amazing when all done and polished

Looking good still bud. Although, clearly not reading each update as the colour looks black. I thought you were keeping with the original blue colour?

nice. whats the final colour then?

Going to be it's original colour. B-45P Madison Blue. For one I can't stand it when body colours don't match engine bays etc, and two, I really like the colour, it looks black most of the time, but when the light catches it you can see it's dark blue

Unless you're being sarcastic you clearly haven't seen my other project thread

Cheers bud Yeah, I was definitely lucky to find him when I did. I found him on ebay offering his services at an amazing price. He now has at least 5 other restorations I think it is booked in now, so it would have been a case of get in line!

Welcome to the club by the way

cheers man Im just glad to have found this place! was seriously worried when last time id looked, most forums for the ludes in the uk seemed to go quiet around 2006, but this sites going strong! Cars got a lot of faulty paintwork (knocks, scratches, dings etc) and looks to have lost a war to a few shopping trolleys in carparks over the years, but my priority is making it drivable first, but perhaps you could talk to your guy see if he wants to give some kind of Prelude forum discount to members...... get his name out as a bit of a reputable guy for the old jap retros

[NafemanNathan]

Well he was going to give me some flyers for his business for me to hand out at Japfest, so I'll see what he says

We basically are all the old Prelude forums combined into one by the way

Nafe, any updates to this yet?

[nucleustylzlude]

Oh yeah, did you not pick it up Sunday as planned?

[W1ggz]

Think ill be interested in getting your guy to look at mine as well lost faith in the guy who's done a few bits for me.

Long story short, but Mike has taken a bit of a break working on mine (I felt it was going all too fast for my liking ). Nah, Mike had been given an opportunity by Ovik to work on one of their new concepts that he couldn't refuse, and I didn't want him to refuse it either. They've offered him permanent work for the future and even bought him his new spray booth for his new premises as a bonus for doing the work he's just done. He's still been in contact with me most evenings keeping me informed and he should be cracking on again with mine this weekend as the deadline for the Ovik concept was Thursday just gone. I'm popping up to see him tomorrow with a few new trim clips and bits and bobs, so I'll report back
