love the car and work being put into this! I plan to one day strip mine down to the shell and build it back up and fix all the rust.

Jealous of the door sills :(

Good news.
Marshall Honda have spoken to the bodyshop they use and are very apologetic.
Hopefully sort it before Japfest, don't want to spoil the Lude stand with a two tone car!!

The car is heading back to York next weekend to get the colour mismatch sorted.
As a gesture of goodwill they'll repaint my Rocker cover!!
Happy with that.

Very nice....my green lude that I sold was almost identical.. Tho the colour came up as eucalyptus pearl green, and my beige heated leather seats didn't have the dark edging... Never liked green ludes till I bought one...rare colour..looks great.

Thanks for the comments :D
Heading back North today, drop the car off and pick up in a couple of weeks with some matching paintwork this time, (I think I'm developing a bodyshop phobia).

Car ready in time for Japfest and the same colour now!

Admission time:
The poor colour blending was not Pulleyn's bodyshop or Marshall Honda's fault. Seems in the years it was somewhat neglected I failed miserably to spot a poor bit of bodywork, though I can't remember when it could have occured. So the side that was poor was not the side that Marshall's sorted for me. Wanted to put that straight as both Pulleyn's and Marshall Honda have delivered a superb service that has brought this car back up to spec, plus they've had supreme patience with me as I kept adding jobs to the list.

Time to head up to Leeds and pick the car up.
