Gary, told you before - if you're building another Alger then it's series 3-5 Alpine bodies you want to start with

I'll pass.Not keen on the colour.
IIRC, MK2s were painted that dirty sort of off-milk white were't they.

You have a HRO MK2?

So you bought a car whose colour you don't like and then had it sprayed the same colour again?
Bit daft isn't it.

you cant really change the colour on something like that due to its history .until i bought it it was owned by jack waters .waters garages the biggest rootes dealer in the uk from new .it has a file with everything that has ever been done to it .

If done well I think the hard white can suit tigers well? Nick Shaws car looks great!
