Default Non Ferrari stuff:)

We don't just do Ferrari's.
I've been lucky enough to work on probably the most varied selection of cars imaginable!
From MGB's to PBMW E30's via 40's Americana & 80's Toyota.

Great work - always comforting to see people investing in quality work on things they love. Is that a MK1 Escort?

If you're driving a soft top with the roof up, the storm outside better have a name.

Oh no, what happened?

separate thread to avoid spamming this one??

Al, you've done some lovely projects.

Approximately how long for a bare metal respray job, assuming little or no bodywork "extra attention" required??

Cheers guys
Yes it's a MK1 Mexico or RS (only did the paint & can't remember which!)
A bare metal job would typically take 7/9 weeks, but it depends on how big the car is.
The MK7 Jag (think the pics might be in the other thread) took 12 weeks, but did a 355 Spider last year which took just 4.
Also note the 1981 Toyota Celica done for an elderly gent who'd owned it from new
Thanks, Al.
