And then?

 

paint over it.

 

Here they aren't markers, they are indicators (trafficators?) and a legal requirement for this age of car. I think I would get bounced on the test without them but I am sorely tempted to 'delete' them as they would be very easy to restore if necessary.

 

im not sure if your right on that. ill have to get Mustang's opinion on this matter.

 

OK, but when I built a kit car in1987 side indicator repeaters were necessary. The thing is that a lot of testers don't even know the rules so you can slip things past them.

 

true. given the option i would absolutely remove mine, but i dont plan on doing body work on my XJS, ever.

i found a little shop that barely checks anything and i all of my cars to them for inspection, including my catless cars.

 

I've just been putting the first top coat on my brand new right front wing and it has no holes in for the lamp. There's no way I'm drilling it so I'll fill up the holes in the old patched up left and see if anyone notices.

 

this forum needs a like button.

 

I think I picked my car's future color!

CFM, Flamenco Red Mica!

 

 

Guy is gonna take her in, do entire prep and paint to "showroom like" condition, all that (including doing window frames and B pillar panels in black), $3K.

 

Very nice, a classy colour it gets my thumbs up

 

if it comes out good, for 3k, its not bad.

 

Here she is, awaiting the future. Meanwhile, we have no more turn repeaters, or antenna hole...

 

im glad you patched those. your gonna love it.

 

Here she is going to the body shop.

 

epic win.

 

Slow progress with my paint prep.

 

I kinda like seeing my antenna go up when I hit the radio. One of those little anachronisms which make the car special. Of course, the smooth look is cool as hell too.

 

Slow is good, what's the rush with a 25 year old?
