This one shows some of the highlights in the purple a little better - you really need to see it in the flesh to appreciate the way it flips from dark purple (almost black) through to varying shades of purple with blue and pink tones.

thanks heaps guys i really apreciate it.
but i just supplied the body and picked my colours.

true credit goes out to the painter for a top effort on the body and finish,
and to provide a good base for kathi to let fly with her polishing and detailing work which has just added a whole new depth to the paint,
and to john for his talent and tireless efforts on the chrome and shiny bits  Wink Wink

then im just putting it all back together Wink Cheesy Wink

ive been too flat out with work lately to sit down and thank everyone for their support lately

so

thanks heaps guys and gals Wink
 i appreciate it  Wink Grin Cool

Smithy,

I've been watching this build with considerable interest.

What an incredibly well presented car you have built. It is an absolute credit to yourself and to your team of contributors.  Wink

That paint is spectacular - combined with that interior trim and those wheels, the overall result is nothing less than stunning.  Cool

Cheers,

Josh

Hi Dean

No-one on the forum should "play down" their involvement in the build of their car - we all have different talents and capabilities.  Some can do every aspect in a ground-up build and some only parts of the build - but it all takes time, effort and a vision.  And achieving the visions we want can sometimes be the hardest part - especially if you're looking for something a little different. 

It might not be running yet, but sitting on your wheels (and admittedly without a layer of dust!) your vision is almost complete.  So keep working on it - as with everyone else here, all those little trials and tribulations you experienced will fade when you are cruisin' down the road.

I think the information, assistance and support (physical and moral) that you, and many others, have received through the forum has been great.  And, it was our pleasure to play a small part in helping bring your vision to life.

And yes, as Josh said - Bubbles does look stunning!  Now..... get it running and on the road!  Cheesy

And he ain't joking Smithy!

Spring is almost here - surely the temperature in the shed has to be close to 12 by now! Orange is fast approaching!  Cheesy

Dean

Car looks fantastic.

Can you give me the type of showwheels an the size including the offset if any?

I am looking to fit a VN diff and looking for the length of the diff from axle flange to axle flange.

Thanks
