nickmcuk 27 Posted November 18, 2014 Juts thought I would do a quick intro email. Used to be a member a good few years back but life got in the way. Been restoring my orginal Midnight Pumpkin (no Re-Re here), I had bought all the major parts years ago and they had been in the loft for yonks....finally got round to doing it over the last couple of months. Also rebuilt my 1/5th FG 911 too Also built up my Tamyia Lancia 037 never really run it but the paint on the shell had gone funny so have been working on that and painting it again. And finally I just had my birthday at the start of the month and the Mrs bought me this... Had an orginal one but really wanted one again 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bromvw 743 Posted November 18, 2014 love the Pumpkin in that colour . Never being a fan of the box art version but the alternate decals set against that deep brown metallic really suit it well 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nickmcuk 27 Posted November 18, 2014 Thanks for the comments its actually a Ford Bronze...helps having been into detailing cars for a good while as I have all the compounds to make a mirror finish Havnt spent that much now....did years ago though I know the purists will probably slate my Pumpkin for not being Black but I like to do things a bit different....same for the decals.
