Full restoration of buzzbomb 2
« on: October 08, 2008, 01:06:45 AM »
Hi guys,

Hope everyone is well, sorry I havent been on in months but I have been rather busy. Hopefully you will agree with the that its been worth all the money and time I have spent on buzzbomb 2 which i nought from 126dave about 5 months ago.

So this is how it was when I bought and I am sure some of you will recognise it.



Two weeks after owning it I decided to fully restor it..... ( it seemed like a good idea at the time)

I started by stripping it and sorting out the dents....







Once I started inspecting the car closer I noticed that the front bottom wings were suffering with rust so that had to be sorted before anything else was done!











And then here are the rest of the progress up to now...

 






On the way back to my garage



And how its looking now

















Hope you like it?!

WOW!!!  :shock:  :shock:  Really nice mate... wery nice... ... nice...  :D  :D

only one question... Why gold?? Of all the classicky colors you could have chosen for the resto you chose this one? But then again its just my opinion and its your car, so the main thing is that your happy with it... everything else... WOW... :wink:

oh, and are you thinking about fitting bumpers on? Cos a set of chromed ones would look smashing...  :cool:

The colour is one thing that I wanted to be special, and I just love this colour at night or in the garage it looks like a plain yellow but outside in the sun it just sparkles and you can see hints of red and orange. I just love it.

With regards to bumpers I'm not sure yet I quite like the clean lines!
