opel2000 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Was chatting with Callum over at Retropower over the last few weeks and been asking "why this? and why that? and what's the thinking behind this? etc." he told me to go and f off as he was busy, actually he didn't really he was telling me about the fit of the bodykit at the front end and after seeing those pics I now see exactly what he meant. As I'm over at Retropower everyday now and you see things taking shape, little by little you don't appreciate just what has been done until you see some blunt before and after shots.

cact1972 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Heard you were there now Clive, will be wanting some shiny bits for this. So will have a chat on my next visit when it's fully painted! Won't be too long by the sounds of it!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opel2000 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 That's good to know Cact1972, in fact very good to know, plus the added benefit to myself not having to pack parcel and post. And the weirdest thing ever of seeing the parts I make going directly onto a car, only ever seen this on my own vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shug Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 My mates brother runs a garage and he actually has a properly printed sign to hang on outside door saying 'fck off, I'm busy' Tis impressive work there. Almost tempted to hand you the dogs dinner I made of my A bodywork (but you'd need to work real real cheap! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

399Road Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Hello , This car looks very impressive . Is it painted yet? I had the other White unarched Ascona at Billing and remember talking to you. Have you decided on wheels yet and are you going for the Yellow, Silver and Anthracite stripes? I keep thinking about these stripes for my Ascona but think it looks ok without them. Keep up the good work and I,ll look forward to seeing the car at Billing..... Luke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Luke, yeah remember having a chat at Billing too... I have just recieved a tweet this morning the 'scona is being flattened and another coat of primer and another flattening session ready for paint so not too far away! (easy for me to say I ain't doin it!!) With regards to the stripes , I'm heading in that direction! and its looking like a set of revo's for wheels but that could change The guy's a Retropower are doin me proud and I'm looking forward to seeing it in paint. Be good to get a pic or two of the two together at Billing Cheers Curt Edited December 6, 2010 by cact1972 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
