Cool Optima Pro Restore


Eventually pulled my finger out and started on the Pro..... But i need your help lads.

I need the red shocks all round.. Are they the same length exactly as the original Ultima?

Also the motor guard looks to have had a fair few whacks so I'dlike to get a new one.

All help welcomed as ever

Dan

I can measure my Optima shocks if thats any good Dan, they were NIP from Germany, but not sure about the Ultima cross over.
Car looks great, its a sleek one this, but still keeps those lines that scream Optima!

Nice! I'll be keeping an eye on this. I'm planning on converting one of my Optima's to Pro specs and have just sent a couple bodies to Jon for painting. Any more pics?

Send your motor guard for stripping, reanodising and a good polish. Will get out most scratches

Hi guys.

The guard really looks like it's misshapen can you see in the pic? The back is flat.... Should it be?

Lee if you can measure your reds it'd be helpful thanks.

I'm getting this one painted professionally by GingaPaint as think it's the most difficult scheme to get right.

Cheers

Dan
