The quality of your work is amazing sir and the fact that you can do mechanical and bodywork is quite something. The way you use the triumphant horns music piece is also very impressive 🙂.

Hi Gary - I like the idea of changing the colour to grey. For some reason I thought red didn't suit the Corniche. I own a 'Titan Grey' Saab with the excellent colour code '303' (the Airfix boy in me appreciated that no.! It was also the number Eric Carlsson used on his Saab 96 sometimes) if you want to take a look as it's one of the nicest 'greys' I've come across. Great result with the seats too! As a matter of interest, will you be re-colouring the red piping? I think the seats would look a lot better with a dark grey piping! I look forward to seeing what you come up with! Cheers!
