B54 ODX x pack from sm classic cars
hi all just a update
this has been on the go for a while and has now picked back up
it came in for a x pack fitting it will be running a nissan turbo engine
i seem to be missing some photos im sure ill find them and update
it runs fast through the pictures over the last five weeks we have cracked on with the old girl
x packs always seem to look ripperly and with this going back gloss black it would really stand out so really put some effort into this one along with a lot of thinking but i think we did really well
she belongs to another member on the south east coast

its a fine art lol although once all back together it heads back to the paint shop and they run through several sages of flatting and polishing so it you do catch it they sort it out for me lol

Hi steve,
Great work as always. As Andy says, the paintwork looks awesome.
I wonder if it will still be insured as a standard 1.6 once the Nissan turbo engine has been fitted?

Re: B54 ODX x pack from sm classic cars
Black is sooooo hard to get right, especially when there's an X pack fitted too. Saw this in the flesh today. Steve's body prepping magic combined with his chosen painters make for seriously good finishes.
I'm looking forward to seeing this all built back up now. The owner must be pleased with how it's been transformed.

Re: B54 ODX x pack from sm classic cars
bit of a update
got the rear quarter trim back in which matches up with the door upper trim
refitted the wiring loom and front door glass and repainted the door frames in satin black as they were a bit scuffed
refitted the sunroof too with no scratches its always worth the effort of making sure it all works BEFORE you send it to paint lol
hopefully next week ish ill start building the engine for the old girl
heres some piccys

Stunning job, really like the x-pack, they look especially good with 'S' stripes fitted IMO. Nice job Steve.

You're a lucky man. That paint finish is glassy as you like. The car looks superb.
