Looking forward to seeing the fresh paint guys! No matter how good you think the paint is (and yes yes mine is pink :roll: ) it's never the same as a freshly painted one!

It's not quite up to my standard yet, it's still to get a new coachline, TC badges and chrome arches put back on and one or two minor mechanical jobs...oh, and a few more layers of polish!!

:D :shock: :D tremendous work uncle joe as the nugget says it does look the dugs baws.When you get started there is no stopping you, will be good to see the tc back on the showfield and it's the only tc in the ecosse and the only 1 on the road up here. I know of two others 1 saloon and 1 coupe but the owners won't sell and they have both been lying for about 17 year. Ill get over with the g3 and the sealant for the body, hope you weren't in a hurry as im over a week late. :oops: :oops:
