Flo the Firenza

Postby Fred Dukes » Tue Dec 05, 2017 6:15 pm

At last my Firenza which has been carted round with me for the last 18 years is showing signs of blossoming :P
It now has some paint and is looking pretty damn good :wink:
Went to see Flo today and had discussions about where the badges go and what sort of stripe I wanted and how it should be home before Xmas 8)
Had a discussion on how healthy the budget was looking :o but we wont go into that :lol:
Doors, bonnet and boot lid still to have paint

Looking brilliant, Fred! :D

That's a particularly nice shade of blue. Is it blue fire? or Riviera blue? or a bespoke shade.

Now for the painstaking reassembly!

Let me know if you need an extra pair of hands with any aspect of reassembly.

Its as close to Sapphire Starmist as he could get using the boot hinge to match - mind it's not far off the Double Plus HA Van which is originally Riviera Blue Starfire so not a bad guess Colin and thanks for the offer of help :wink:
M H is the aim this next year! :roll:
