Recommended Posts

Was chatting with Callum over at Retropower over the last few weeks and been asking "why this? and why that? and what's the thinking behind this? etc." he told me to go and f off as he was busy, actually he didn't really he was telling me about the fit of the bodykit at the front end and after seeing those pics I now see exactly what he meant.

As I'm over at Retropower everyday now and you see things taking shape, little by little you don't appreciate just what has been done until you see some blunt before and after shots.

Hello ,

This car looks very impressive . Is it painted yet? I had the other White unarched Ascona at Billing and remember talking to you.

Have you decided on wheels yet and are you going for the Yellow, Silver and Anthracite stripes? I keep thinking about these stripes for my Ascona but think it looks ok without them.

Keep up the good work and I,ll look forward to seeing the car at Billing.....

Luke.

Hi Luke, yeah remember having a chat at Billing too...

I have just recieved a tweet this morning the 'scona is being flattened and another coat of primer and another flattening session ready for paint so not too far away!:D

(easy for me to say I ain't doin it!!)

With regards to the stripes , I'm heading in that direction! and its looking like a set of revo's for wheels but that could change

The guy's a Retropower are doin me proud and I'm looking forward to seeing it in paint.

Be good to get a pic or two of the two together :thumbup at Billing

Cheers

Curt
