Now that is just awesome man!!!!

So is that black in the window reliefs that I see? Very nice indeed!!

 

[Randy V]

Double-post.. Sorry...

 

[CraigB]

That is a stunning colour - a real head turner!! Nicely done indeed rockonsmile

 

[HILLY]

Thanks Gents.
Back from the painters and ready for fit-out.

 

[Randy V]

OKay Peter... What's the color codes?

That is a real stunner for sure!!!

 

[HILLY]

Randy,
I do not have the exact paint codes as I think that the painter fiddled with the recipe a bit. From memory I think that he also experiemented with the base coat colour as well?? Apparently this has a big effect on the appearance of the colour coats.
I do know that it started out as a standard Subaru colour. The blue from memory is called Subaru Blue Mica and the stripes are simply a pure silver.
I will have to contact the painter to get the exact description.

 

[Richard]

That is a nice colour combo, Peter - I like the size of your shed too!

 

[HILLY]

Just a standard two car garage Richard.
Like everyone else I could do with three times the space. The everyday cars have never been housed a day in their life but that a small price to pay. I can't complain though as I have seen guys working with much less space than I have.

 

[HILLY]

The dash comes together.

 

[Richard]

The photos under "the re-build begins" makes it look 3x the size!

Keep the pics coming.

 

[Randy V]

Very nice demister manifold you have there Peter!!!

I hope your painter wrote down exactly what he did for your colors - not just for me but for you should there ever be any cause to touch up or refinish a panel...

 

[Neal]

Stunning color combo Peter. Nice work.

 

[JackW]

I am seriously loving this retro build thread. Keep up the great work Peter, it is a joy to behold.

regards

Jack

Great job, Peter! That blue really pops and sets off the silver nicely.

Well, once again I am rethinking my color scheme.

 

[Allen English]

Wow-Awesome looking 40! Making me want to go with blue, but I already have a blue cobra.

More pictures...More pictures please.

 

[Mark Worthington]

Park that car in the sun, Peter, and get us some more photos! Very nice RF.
