Europa TCS Restoration
« on: Thursday,April 27, 2017, 12:58:27 PM »
Getting there with the restoration.

The attached is a pic from the paint shop today.

I have to admit - being Welsh - I had to go for the colors of the Welsh flag :-)

Not standard colors - but  - it warms the hart of a Welshman living in Toronto!

She looks great! I wouldn't have noticed those were Welsh colors but they look good on the car.

Just had another pic from the paint shop.

They just have to finish the doors.

It's getting closer to home time :-)

Wow! That is looking fantastic.
The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.
