Over the winter I'd dropped on this superb genuine Opel Speedster with only 37k on the clock. It was in pristine condition with the unfortunate exception that it had a little knock on the front resulting in the front lower clam being cracked.

This was the car in its former glory. Always garaged etc no bubbles on it too which is highly unusual for these cars:



Drove it back OK from Leicester you can see here (pic from my CCTV) we just removed the front bit of the clam and headlight here to have a look and see how much work would be needed.



Ended up getting a new lower front clam section. Took the car into the garage and left them to crack on!

Oh I rubbed it all down first after deciding to go for a colour change







While the car was in I got cracking buying a set of new badges and painting them

After a few months and a coat of white paint later I picked it back up!











Delighted with the paint job its really first class. Got the wheels powder coated and repainted all the interior and replaced all the brakes so its in tip top condition now. Last couple of jobs to do are just work out a couple of TADTS's such as the header tank and heater then its done!

Nice! A question about your CCTV though. How does it work? I also have an iphone and would like something like this.

Thanks

Thanks for the comments. It's actually ford frozen White but if anyone asks in future I'll be telling them it's samsung fridge White wink

The CCTV recorder is linked into my router and the manufacturer has an app store app you load up to view the images. Quite handy!

White really works well on that, especially with the black bits.
