Glad it gets the seal of approval  :lol:  :lol:

put on a new wing and headlight panel, before wet & drying everything, white was the ideal base so made life easier.  There were some areas of rust on the capping and onthe bulkhead behinf the bonnet. Any dodgy areas were taken to bare metal, etched primed and then high build primer before top coating.

There were also some dents on the doors i filled in and primed.

Preparation took two very long days. 8am - 10pm both days.
Spraying 3 days

adding all the bits on and rebuilding 2 days.

Started the the thursday before easter, put the final touches on today.

I don't want to add it all up - it would frighten me  :wink:

Theres a complete list of additions on the web site.

SWMBO won't let me add a winch or snorkel  :cry:  It's her every day car now and doesn't want any more bits on it.

Just stand about 10foot behind it (on the central-line) & listen to it fired up & ticking over. Magic!! :D

i have a dislike of interceptors mainly due to having to wash 1 every week & shammy it then wax it & then polish the wheels & wax them as my ex boss thinks it installs disipline by doing things like that throughout my aprenticeship,also had to wash his 25ft+ caravan with a small kitchen sponge  :evil:
sorry for the rant
but yours looks very nice,just dont ask me to wash it cos the sponge will go somewhere :wink:
