I decided if I kept my V it had to be mint so I stripped it to a bare shell and its having the underside back to bare metal and protected/painted white..
full in and out respray in white and im gna have all metal bits powder coated before they go back on so fully restored :wub:

Also just rebuilt the engine due to lack of oil

Yours is looking lovely mate :awesome:

Sounds like its going to look fantastic once its finished! Love to do that to mine one day but i don't think id ever drive it again once it was all finished! Lol thats why i done mine with black wax oil underneath so it wouldn't look so dirty!

U going to do a resto thread on yours?
