Thanx Pimps !
I've been messin with this for a while, kept makin corrections, changin shit after priming,
stripped the base coat (too thick), went thru a lot. This body took a lotta reshaping to
get it right though it was made very well. I took queues from various other TVR convertables
to get the best outta what I had to work with. My skilz aren't what they used to be, guess
I need to put out more huh
I had been meaning to right hand drive a couple of other rides but habit always found it
on the left before realizing it.

Got this one right though! You will be seeing a few more
versions in the coming months.
This one was done for Team Bonzer and had to be authentic as possible so I better had gotten it right

That's hot DT. Beautiful paint, almost a metallic British Racing Green. Excellent chop job on the roof too. Bonzer will be happy!

Ditto what everyone else said - that paint and shine look killer.
I always loved how you paint the spokes of the rims too, great touch.

That's an amazing transformation. I would have never imagined that body looking like that.

What's wrong with you, only wankers drive from that side of the car! (Yes, I know it's a TVR and they're supposed to be like that... because they're wankers)
Looks great man!!

They'll never learn! Even their plug holes and toilets swirl the wrong way

Thats precisely why we do things on the wrong side, because our toilets swirl the wrong way.
Nice ride DT, that thing is pimpin' fo' sho! The copper spokes match with the green paint real well. The convertable boot looks good too.
