Hi all, as suggested by one of the members I’m starting this thread, not really knowing how to do it so be patient as I fumble my way through the build, also feel free to add ideas and suggestions and contacts. Here is what I’ve got to start with, and what the previous own has done.

Looks to be a reasonable starting point.

With that rear end, I think the first thing you should do is see an engineer, unless the car was bought with an engineers report for the rear suspension. Any ideas on what colour it will be Daryl?

Yes, it was to good off a deal to let go by, the colour is none factory, ghost grey, we have the option of satin or gloss finish, but we are undecided with that one, if we choice satin not sure how the black would look in satin, and did have thoughts of a metallic finish in the black just ever so lightly, we will have to do samples to work it out, the colour is a little lighter then gunmetal grey with heavier metal flake, the model is approximately the colour which i just happen to find in a shop when looking at model cars i also bought a four door A9X which we will be painting up to get an idea of our colour design.

Also the car will be fully engineered.

I remember going to the Royal Melbourne Show a thousand years ago and one of the attractions was Elvis's Cadillac. Crushed pearl paint work.

You can get diamond metalic, but its aluminum filings.
