That's really impressive work Jonny! If this ends up saving write-off's that's absolutely brilliant.

Seriously top work to you and any others that are invloved 'behind the scenes'

Well, I dropped the VXT off at the paint shop on Tuesday. Hoping to have it back for the weekend. I'm sure my brother will post up some photos when he can.

i hope to never need one, but wouldnt hesitate coming back to you after the quality of the hard top, like everyone else says - great work and really really nice to know that it's getting that little bit easier to preserve these cars!

[jonnyboy]

Thats great to hear thanks for that

 

Dan some pics would be great. It will be very satisfying to see one done and painted and another VX back on the road!

Still looking for other Jocks to get involved!

Just a few mobile phone pictures. Still got the old smashed headlight in for now. 

 

My brother is away at sea until the weekend, so we'll get all the polish cleaned up and fit the good headlight this weekend and get some better photos with the Nikon.

New grille too

Nice paint job.....I think there is some overspray on the wheels though?!

Haha, I'm not sure what his plans are for the wheels. A local wheel specialist wanted to try out the colour so painted them for free. We have a set of newly repainted silver wheels too. I think they would look good in anthracite so may get them done again.

i had one delivered today. thanks jon for your awesome service :-) 

[jonnyboy]

No problem Ben I think the guys at Relentless were pleasantly surprised as they have dealt with some very iffy repro stuff in their time! 

[Guesty88]

Well I finally got mine back from the garage the weekend before last, and only got round to a wash and polish last weekend, so this is what it looks like (you'll have to excuse the rubbish camera phone pictures and the lack of V (not a good look if you ask me!)):

 

 

 

Absolutely thrilled to have it back on the road, and Jon has done a great job with the mold. Should hopefully save a few cars from being written off by GM's pricing!
