napoleon gets a face lift

Post by gt orphanage »

With number 3 gt [patches]wedding car still in the panel shop and a wedding this weekend napoleon got a little clean up. I got the drivers door cleaned up where the old owner had a shot bolt locking system fitted and the bonnet and tops of the guards where craized. It had a few grandpa bumps cleaned up but i did not want to respray the ol girl as it is close to original and what mods it has got I.E seats,cd player with speakers under the dash can be reversed.
Patches is getting very close i hope to send him to coona.

Sweeeeet! Ditto - Love the wides with chromie rings. Very period! And staying close to original for those few remaining examples is pretty noble, I reckon.

More great work from the orphanage!
Cheers, Matt.

Wow Greg,

He has come up a treat! Looks even more original now.
You are welcome to use my GT but I am sure Napoleon would feel left out of such a big event :?
Hope it is a great wedding for one growing Bellett family :D

PS Here is my wedding photo

Thanks for the offer Lewis very kind of you. The catch is Davo is contracted as the mc to livin up the night and his incentive was to drive his old car [patches] but it seems patches is not available.So the next best thing is his old sedan which he never got a real drive in.
The other thing is i told Liz i cant marry her until i have my three gt's ready ;) ;) ;) i don't want her thinking too many other options are available :lol:. Patches has been a drawn out project this is why, if it takes years to do the yellow gt maybe she might give up ;) ;) ;) then again it might be why Liz keeps putting wasp projects in between my projects :roll:. Everybody happy.

Greg,

You see Liz has no problem with the "W" or "B" words.... its just the "C" word (for commitment) she is afraid of.
