Still not decided then :D. Its hard isn't it, if I could afford to repaint mine ( I hate red) it would be either black, dark met blue, dark met green or silver.

Looks great, got to ask, how did you source the car/shell?

All the goodies sound interesting too...

the car was a complete gamble on e bay.
the description,pictures and shipping quote (seller was a trader) sounded spot on.
so i bid and was fortunate to be the only one with the balls or no brain cells to do so.
never been welded and still has original factory underseal.
car came about 10 weeks later.
after having my arse well and truly bored out by customs, the car came home.
i was very very lucky too have such a complete and sound car really.
it even had brand new vinyl kit and other goods brand new in boot.
i already had my white 240 which i really liked. but once this arrived there was only one outcome.
sell the u.k 240 and start afresh with this one.

The WHOLE truck is stunning. trust me!

And here she is arriving at Gary Bellamy's place.
For those of you who still dont get the sense in using an imported shell as a basis for a proper restoration I took some detail pics for you to see. Remember this shell is 35 YEARS old.. And as Rahail has already said has never had any rust repairs in the past and still doesnt need any. Check it out.....:D
