Lovely mate, the ceramic coating will really finish it offâŚ
Thanks for the contact Rob.
Looks absolutely fantastic.
Amazing! And itâs not coming to Anglesey. Shame
That looks stunning Jonny amazing work
Congratulations Jonny, your Exige looks fantastic 
. Any plans for a new project?
Cheers guys.
As good as yours hopefully Klaus A barn find 912 would be nice
Your Exige is in a totally different league than mine, Jonny. I just put mine back on the road where as you performed a full nut and bolt restoration.
My car still shows lots of signs of usage and actually would benefit from a paint job. But the way it is Iâm able to use it more freely without caring too much.
You need a new project for sure. I hope youâll find a demanding new one.
