1973 412 resurrection

Post by Stevosquare » 24th December 2020 - 11:40pm

Haven’t had time to do a proper build thread but I’ll try to show you what I’ve done. My ‘73 412 started off as a bit of work and ended up a lot!

But this is the progress so far.

The order threw me, I thought you had painted it and then stripped it back again

Looks very tidy, what paint did you use :)

Thanks, it’s made to be a driver so I’m not going too far. That’s the only part I didn’t do! It’s done in 2k though

Those seats I bought off you came up nicely.

Looks like they have, delighted they have been of genuine good use, door cards seem to have come up well too :)
