Beautiful job, Lappy!!

Pat yourself on the back, Lappy, for making an absolutely magnificent job with your X!!!
It's almost got me thinking about making a special trip over the ditch, just to stand and admire it!!
Well done, mate!

cheers, Ian - NZ
 
Thanks mate.

any time youre in town let me know..........got to be the most expensive X around ....... only my accountant and heart specialist know how much i've spent, but it is a "new" car after all:D

I stopped collecting receipts a long time ago

to hide the evidence!

Great job!
 
Looking good, I am really interested in how you did the carbon fiber trim on your bumper. That is a nice upgrade.

Beautiful job!!! Hey JJ!! this is a restoration!!!!....

Wish i had the patience,time and $$ to do the same to mine.Keep us posted when completely done,.....Thanks for sharing,Albert
 
Like Ovi said

It does look better then the day left factory, and a better quality too.
It is definitly one of the best restorations ever.
You only got 6 weeks to chrismass, ain't long.
Can I help in any way?
 
Didn't know you live on the Peninsula!!

Hey Lappy, here I was talking about coming over the ditch to look at your X, would you believe that a friend and I were staying at the Nepean Country Club in Rosebud back in Feb this year!! Just looked at your profile, and I see you live on the Mornington Peninsula!! Jeez, mate, I could have looked you up while I was there! :D

cheers, Ian - NZ

Keep up the good work. Always enjoy the progress pictures.
