On 'Salvage Hunters Classic Cars' Capri episode, they took the bonnet and got the rot cut out of the front lip and repaired! The guy who did the repair is Andy's autobody based in Rochester, Kent.

I believe there are some types of undead that can exude toxin from the mouth.

They will also be exuding my knuckles from their mouth too

Read somewhere the other day (can't remember where, been working from home for over a month) that scrapping the old tax disc's has cost the Government a fortune in lost revenue - another bright idea from some overpaid clown

It is surprising the difference putting a 2 litre cam in a 1.6 can make!

Wow! that is painful to watch

Hi guy's,

Nothing finer than being serenaded by 6 of Ford's best first thing on a cold morning!

Headphones on highest volume recommended!

Just for a laugh in these troubled times

Thanks for all your comments guy's, a serious amount of work has gone into this, the painter has done a terrific job on the paint, the pic below is only the gun finish - it still needs to be flatted and polished, I must admit that even at my ripe old age of 48 I'm starting to really look forward to ...

Hi guy's,

Maybe not everyone's cup of tea but here's a picture of my dad's car now painted in Black.

Hi guy's,

I bought a bottle of isopropyl rubbing alcohol 5 months ago off eBay for £4.79, that same product from the same seller is now £26.00 - robbing bastards, at least Dick Turpin wore a mask when he robbed people!

Thanks for all your input guys, it would not take a lot to get her back to original to be honest, 1 auto box, remove rear spoiler and replace the side bars which were removed ages ago by my ex-partner (long story) and of course the colour. Getting those rubber side bars would probably be a nightmare...

The scammers must be total dimlos - they use the same pics everytime, I can't see how any person with half a brain could get caught out by these scams..

I think they look sweet mate, if you're concerned about the center bores there are kits on eBay that can sort that out - sort of tapered rings that fit over the hub to take up the difference in circumference.

I had a Essex V6 radiator (large top tank) re-cored last year it cost 220 quid.

Still think that, if it's a memorial to your Dad, it should be Highland Green. But in the end it's your money, your car and your memories. When you sit in it you cannot see much of the colour anyway, so if the memories are still there, then go with whatever you think. As long as it's Highland green...

Evening guy's, Just wanted to say thanks for all your input on this dilemma, after spending all day thinking about it and trying to remember anything my dad may have said/mentioned in the past with regards to car colour's and one thing has come to mind, he always used to quote Henry Ford's iconic &q...

Thanks Andrew, I never thought this would be so difficult, my dad always said 'never buy a green car son' yet he loved that car, I need to get this right first time as there won't be any more money available- well not until I get another loan!
