@SANDY.: Lovely piece (can't beat ol' metal and chrome) but needs a lot of work as is obvious from the snaps. Who is your mechanic? have you decided on the paint scheme and upholstery?

p.s.: maybe you could swap the rear white walls from the 786 and put them on 6063.

Lovely cars there. I love the colour scheme on 6063. I would also second Sam on the tyre swap idea. Rating this thread 5 stars as well. Eagerly waiting for more pics and info about the cars. I love classics a lot too.

@ Sam,
I have to work lot on car...

Mechanic is in Shivaji nagar...

I decided to paint car in Black color. Upholstery is in light cream color with dark brown color.

White wall tyre on 786 is painted by brush with oil paint by its previous owner, look very ugly...


I sold 6063 to my friend.

Hi,
Its a nice work. Wherther you have used Aluminum paint for the head outer or puffed it.
Where you got the 3M paint.Whether its available in the market or we need to take it to the 3M guys for painting it.
Thanks for words!

Its chrome plating on head.

3M paint is available in local paint shop, we asked him for dunlop paint, he suggested me for 3M.
Will post picture of that paint tin today or tomorrow.
