Hilda's Extreme Makeover

[Sarge]

I wish I had my camera with me today. Hilda is looking fantastic. That Indian Ivory is not a bad colour at all. What do you think Kiwi, Oh sorry thats right you dont think your a Kiwi and dont know what a FC with paint on it looks like. Rust doesnt count as a colour.lol

Cheers

  ;Dthats a nice GREY BLUE COLOUR  


lookin good sarge
that obviouslly means ewe didnt paint it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sarge]

Thanks old mate, your right about the painting Kevin is the man behind the spray gun. His the guy you see getting out of Hilda. My job is to replace the rust with real metal and to get the car looking straight so Kev can do his magic. Kevin is the main man on this makeover I reckon his done a great job of getting Hilda Straight as a die and a lovely high shine on the colour.

Now you can show Mrs Kiwi what it is she is trying to get your car to look like. When they come up this good, the weekends in the shed are worth it.

Hey Sarge,

I was over at Kev's just after you. Nice shots. Its amazing how the colour changes in the different lights.

RET,
I didn't end up with the the Royal Marine of your Dad's car. It was just a tad too green.
This colour is eye matched "Crystal Blue". The first shot that Sarge posted here shows the colour in full sun and is prolly the most accurate representation of it.

Never fear groovers, more photos will follow.

Thanks for posting Sarge. U r a ledge.

Emu
       You are more than welcome for the recent photos. I would like to thank you for letting me be a part in Hildas makeover. I have truly enjoyed every moment, I am also looking forward to seeing Hilda drive off down the street for the first time with her new look. Again thank you for trusting me with one of your prize  possessions. I cant wait till we start on Harvey. Once again thank you.

Cheers
