Aplogies for pic quality as they were all taken with my iphone
So it started a week ago with
which then lead to this
and
 the person involved understands this pic
the night finished like this
so the next day comes along and i finish off the last of the stripping and start to prep the car
then the masking begins but due to someone who had owned thecar prevously had all the kit bonded to the car so it had to be painted on the car
so that was sunday night on to monday night now we start to mask out the roof ready for paint
roof in progress
and complete
once dry we masked up the rest of the car ready to start tuesday night
this how it looked thursday morning at 9am after having worked all night to get to this stage i also prepped my wheels the bonnet and bumpers that night no pics of that so went back to the shop at 6pm to get the wheels bonnet and bumpers done
wheels finished but they came out shit so had to be redone on friday
so friday comes get to the shop at 2pm to get wheels re prepped and the car has nothing fitted to it it was just a shell with doors so a quick call to tony perfect (fast-as-u-can) and gets the workshop at 7pm ad is greeted by car that is supposed be going to TVL the next moring at 5am but it needs completly fitting up so we got stuck in the wheels had still not been repainted by ths time so they were painted and were still wet at midnight wasnt looking good for getting to TVL and by midnight the car looked like
and at 3.30am
finally at 4.04 it rolled out of the shop looking like
so then it was time to leave for TVL after no sleep and nearly a 200 mile trip luckily tony had left at midnight so he could do the long drive to coombe and i went to hastings to pick him and 16vkarlos up stopped at the services for a coffee in the petrol station so grabbed a daylight pic and an arty water bead pic as it was raining
so we set off and finally made it to coombe for TVL where it was on the cs stand looking like (thanks to adam for the pics
Thanks for reading and thanks to all those involved especially dave at Utopia car care for doing the paint work

That's a busy week 
I knew the work ended up last minute but I didn't actually know what work had been done, that's impressive.
And I'd say it was definitely the right decision, it looks boss mate

Its only when you see it all in bits you get a bit of perspective on the size of the job!
As said - I think it looks boss, works really well and it was certainly unique!
