Glad to see you, uploading regularly , sent you an email also last week Gav, as I like perfection.

[@deopersad2915]

Very awesome alot of work and amazing results Gavin 👍🏽👍🏽 be the same when you do the next one for Russel looking forward to it 😎👍🏽

[@Gavinpinkpaintshop]

@deopersad2915 thank you 😊

[@RW-bi2rp]

Stunning work👍 I was surprised to see you didn't seam seal were the front wings spot weld to the inner wing and underneath around the strut top mounts. It was never done from the factory and it's almost always over looked during restorations, but it's one of the most important steps to prevent the infamous strut top and wing rail rot. Keep up the great work but don't be shy with the seam sealer on the next one😆

[@Gavinpinkpaintshop]

@@RW-bi2rp The whole body shell and seems were treated to anti corrosive apoxy primer And any bear services fully zinc coated

[@RW-bi2rp]

@@Gavinpinkpaintshop Thanks for your reply, zinc and epoxy paint are brilliant but will eventually crack if used to bridge over seams. Seam sealer is the finishing touch and will seal the joint/seam and when the joint/seam flexes it won't crack like paint will. I'm not having a go at you! just constructive criticism

[@robertmorris5214]

Awesome job

[@martynhill2307]

Amazing!!

[@jamesbarnes4619]

fantastic work

[@jimmypratt6450]

Excellence at its finest and they never left the factory in that condition i know because i worked on many back in the day . Just painted a VW T2 in Lechler and it does n't look anywhere near as good as that job , i would have liked to use Novol but the customers budget didn't allow for that . Jim Stockport 👍

[@Gavinpinkpaintshop]

thanks for your comments its appreciated

[@jasonevans6720]

No comments so far Gav because we are all speechless

[@Gavinpinkpaintshop]

🤣

[@adrianlawrence6674]

Can't see anyone doing a better job than that. Absolute perfection !

[@Gavinpinkpaintshop]

@@adrianlawrence6674 that's much appreciated

[@mickmonaghan8551]

Top work Gavin! If I can ask, is Russel planning on modifying this car? I remember it being very original. Just asking as its been fitted with E/AVO/RS front wings, strut top plate and rear spring skids.

[@Gavinpinkpaintshop]

just a standard build mate

[@brianmcclintock1194]
