Molto bene Stuart, molto bene - looks fantastic!
Thanks guys.
I was chatting to my mate who owns a wheel and tyre place today about getting the wheels powder coated rather than painted. They can do the wheels in any amount of colours and combinations you want,,,,,,,,,except bog basement standard steel look
Back to painting them then.

Why can't they do them silver

Oh they can do silver but the panda wheels are more a steel silver, like a flat silver with no flake in the paint. I have the proper colour here in paint but I thought it would have been a nice touch to get them done in the powder coat. They're silvers have to much flake in them. Just shows, few people want standard stuff now.
Looking fabulous Stuart, you're hard graft is an inspiration to us all.
Are you going to be bringing it over to any of the shows in the summer?

Thank you, very kind of you to say. I was discussing it with a mate a few days ago. We'd love to get to Gaydon in September is it. All depends on the cost of boats and how quickly we can get there and back for work.
We were talking about the Scotish Italian day to.
Work is still going on. I have the roof and one side now flattened an polished. Hopefully the photo's give you an idea of the finish.
And I know all these bits go in somewhere

If you have car to go with the badge I will have it...
That's a bit like, "there's a bell daddy, put a bike on it"!If you have car to go with the badge I will have it...
The new badge arrived today.
And I got the wheels back tonight after being sand blasted and primer powder coated.
If things go to plan tomorrow I'm going to paint them.

Loving the wheels :yum:
Painting them at the moment so hope to have pics by about 9pm tonight. Looking good so far.
Will call round and see it over the weekend, it's looking amazing!
No probs Jim, it would be good if you would run your eye over it to see what you think. Text or ring me if your thinking of nipping round tomorrow (Sat). I've to go and see a G Wagen at 11am and have to nip out to the shed at some point to get the panda's engine and suspension.
Wheels now painted. I'm knackered but it was worth it as they have came out ok.
I've no idea why the photo came out this colour it should be the same as the above. I'll take a better one tomorrow. I'm away to take drink.
