[quote="Ian3dr"]As some of you know, I won the Gold Cup last year for the cleanest Modified Cosworth 2004 :clap: :clap: 3 days after winning the cup in September, the car was stripped to a shell once again, and the entire floor pan, wheel arches and engine bay were bare metalled. Ant (3drbadboy) managed to borrow a body shop off of a friend for the weekend, so we managed to paint it all in there in one hit. This was November 2004. A huge pile of new parts were waiting to go on the car once painted, and also most of the alloy has been chromed as much to popular belief, I hate polishing! lol!

The car was actually totally finished at the end of Febuary this year, so 5 months from start to complete. A HUGE thanks to Ant for all his hard work helping me with the car :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

A few of the pics were taken on a 4 poster. This was when it as MOT'd last week. The MOT mans face was a picture as it went up in the air and he saw what I had done to the underneath! Still charged me £40 though!
