My Mum And Dads Cars...

[Flamby]

ok well I've done a few of these threads recently but its not every day you've got a mini meet whenever you go home for the weekend :D

ok well my mums is nearly finished :D just awaiting some volks to arrive, so I thought it would be a perfect time to get peoples oppinions for her and see what you all think.

this is what it used to look like...

well now here it is

and here are some pics of my mum and dads together...

I'll be posting more pics up to this thread once my car is taken with them and once her new wheels are on too B)

well let me know what you think :)

As said yesterday - the paintwork looks stunning! Not an orange person myself, *but* looks like a really top-notch job!! Remind me to get the details from you sometime for when Murray needs some work done ;)

I'd like to see the three MR2s together! Get yours in the pics Dan hehe

i've got a shirt that colour somewhere....

[Demonic Angel]

I actually really like it.... there was an orange Mk1 at Brunters which totally caught my eye (that was the plan though I guess! ) and I think the colour is great on the '2 - and I normally dislike orange cars and absolutely begged Rich to not get the ST in Orange (even though there was no chance he would!)

That would be Jo's Tango MK1 (Garrick's better half) ;) Last interior pics I saw, even the dog had colour-coded harnesses - it's an Orange lover's heaven :D

Yea... you know when you've been tangoed!

Looks great mate, lovely colour, I actually really like it. Nice deep shine too!

[jay dh]

as long as ur mum likes it

looks wrong. and so did the mk1 mr2 at brunters

[feegy]

Looks great out on my driveway! the colour in sunlight is so nice. ohhh and the black wheels are coming for it soon, its gonna look the business!

[martin_longbow]

That's great. I used to paint older cars in Signal Orange, actually a ford escort MK1 colour and it was magnificent. I think it looks great on the car, would love to see the actual colour.

Stunning

yeh we got the car painter at "Armstrongs" in Cricklde near Swindon. Family run business, they were really enthusiastic about the job. I cant find their details right now, sorry. :( In the pics the colour looks quite flat but in person it is extremely vibrant and bright lol.

ohh and if u were wonderin the deep shine is cause of the 3 coats of laquer, we did toy with the idea of metal flakes but no, the colour looks alot like Lotus Chrome Orange just its not a pearlescent. Easier for touchups just in case. ;)

[jaxx]

your parents rock!

[Razor_Rage]

absolutely mad, but oh so cool :)

If I can get the details from Dan at one point, that would be great thanks.

[Fidgits]

if its swindon way i wouldnt mind the details if they did a good job...

(front end needs a little TLC)

[Flamby]

glad some of you like it :)

Caz - yeah no probs I'll get the details from my dad when he finds them again I'm going down to see it tomorrow, so will see how good a job it is :)

Thanks everyone for your oppinions on it, my mum loves it and she knows that is what is important but its cool to get peoples oppinions :

oh and should see it in the flesh sometime as Im hoping to persuade them to come to JAE ;)

[Lou-Lou]

Dan.. you're parents rule!

Shame mine don't have the same taste... bright green ford Ka and a renault megane.... :ffs:

[clarky]

If you'd said orange mr2 I'd have groaned ... but that looks ace - really nice.

As for parents - my idiot father sold an original GT40 when I was born!

[msherry21]

That looks awesome as I said before Dan and Feegy....The wheels will look great on that!!!!! make sure you get the pics up when there on.

cheers,

Michael.

i'm not sure myself but good paint finish .....although with black wheels, i think it would give ur mum's mr2 a U.S street racerish influence/look about it..... :)

[Flamby]

ok well I shot up their yesterday to check it out :) beautiful finish to the car, absolutly stunning work by Armstrongs in Swindon, very very impressed

oh and I couldn't go without getting some pics of the 3 of them, felt a bit strange to be honust

Was a rushed visit but we have many more photo plans once the summer really sets in :D B)

[Caz SR]
