Painted Vixen

[vixen1700]

Thought I'd share some pictures of how my scabby old Vixen body looked in January (at the top) and how it looked on Saturday, after spending the time with a great painter and fibre-glass expert who did a fantastic job on it with a lovely finish.

It was an ACT exhaust made up by JP Exhausts in Cheshire.

First one they sent didn't fit at all, but they were really good and remade it using the old exhaust/manifolds.

What colour is it? Is it an original colour (Silver Fox) or is it a more modern one? Looks good whatever it is.

Cheers, yes it's Silver Fox.

And how do you fix the mesh in the opening?
Plastering it in after this paint job is awfull.

Not going to bother with any mesh, the black painted bits at the front are metal, so that's all that will be there.

ICI Nexa A/3/xsc00352 Ford Silver Fox (thanks vixen1700)

Spoke to the paint shop today so the M should be another silver fox car :-)

Looking forward to seeing some pics soon then.

Yep, looking good.
