Dr H Posted January 16, 2019 Author Posted January 16, 2019 Oh, and here's a car that just got through IVA. Chap in Manchester built it. Stradale with an Alfa v6. Took him about 15 months and 330 odd hours
Dr H Posted February 18, 2019 Author Posted February 18, 2019 Off to paint! Arrived safely and ready for colour! Should be done in about 6-8 weeks
timbo Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 I was in the Manchester area a few days ago and saw a green Stratos...so possibly the one mentioned above :)
Dr H Posted March 30, 2019 Author Posted March 30, 2019 Yep, chances are that's the one. There anren't many around!
Dr H Posted May 1, 2019 Author Posted May 1, 2019 Quick update. Starting the paint got delayed but should be in primer on Tues next week when I go over and take the recently collected windows and screen over to check the fit before painting. Current timeline is: End May collect from paint First week of June - engine mapping End of June go to trimmers for carpets, dash, door cards etc. With a lot of luck I reckon it might be ready for IVA end of July. But now I've said that there is no way it will happen
jonnyfox Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 Very probably buddy, it'll be brilliant no matter what though.

Dr H Posted May 7, 2019 Author Posted May 7, 2019 Well the primer is on and it will be in full colour by the end of next week. The front lamp pod has been painted in the colour I chose just to make sure it's what I want. So I took a pic........... It looks nothing like this in the 'flesh'!!! It's actually like this: So looks like my car will look crap in photographs when it's done
Phil S1 Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 Leigh, there's no such thing as a crap looking Stratos...even stealth black looks pretty good
Dr H Posted May 7, 2019 Author Posted May 7, 2019 I must admit, it does look quite good in matt back!
Dr H Posted May 17, 2019 Author Posted May 17, 2019 It's getting greener...... This pic is a better take on the actually colour but probably shows it a tiny bit greener than it actually is. It's very bright in the flesh (or plastic/FG) Will be ready to collect on Friday 31st May (2019)
