Projects Guernsey boys model A coupe build.

Your work as a builder and a photo journalist are both nice.

 

Very impressive skills with primitive tools (compared to what's available with cubic dollars). Nice work!
Very creative. Wish I had vision like that.

 

Thanks everyone!

Yeah the white 250 is mine and the red 450 is my mate Steves. We don't race them, but they're just about the most fun way to commute around the island! (on the back wheel mainly )

After 6 years i've finally picked a colour! I had the grille shell painted first so that i could be sure about it before we go ahead and do the whole body. I also got a new stainless steel insert, really happy with how it looks.

 

I am excited to see this car come together. I have been following along for a long time. Excellent craftsmanship! I wish I was as good.

 

Looks great. Thanks for the update.

That color is awesome !

 

Looking good!

 

The color looks perfect. Nice choice.

 

Looks like a great color choice to me.Thanks for the update.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

Dig the final color choice, the build is coming out very nicely! I have enjoyed watching the build progress!!

 

It's a sort of shiney red oxide...... love it, cracking choice

 

Updates?!?!?

 

I know he slept in this morning... And he's been busy getting a business off the ground and playing with race boats, successfully I might add!

 

Looking so fine! I've been following along since the beginning, and have been impressed the whole way. Thanks Guernsey Boy!

 

Wow cant wait too see this one come together, great work ..... and that "shit" you get up to in your shed on the other side of the world is "Awe Inspiring Shit" so keep it up

 

Must...have...more...
Any Updates???!!!

 

@Gotzy is he back on it? finished?

 

He displayed it at the 2019 Motorama in Holland Steve. So yes its finished.

 

A couple pics of the car done would be nice.

 

I bet he sold it. Like any artist, he completed the piece and now wants to move on to another project. It has been six years since the last post. Just to finish this up, does anybody have any other pictures of the finished car?

Here you go and he still has it to my knowledge

 

Thanks for the pictures. I only surmised that it was sold because he didn't post about it for six years and he really seemed into the build. Absolutely awesome build and incredible attention to detail and all without major tools.
Warren

 

Yeah I finished it in 2019, but the photo hosting on here went a bit cockeyed so I kinda gave up on the updates.

It’s won a few trophies since it’s been done and ended up on the cover of custom car magazine in the Uk so I certainly can’t complain.

Thank you all for the kind words

 

Here are a few more finished pics

 

Thanks for the update GB, inspiring stuff!

 

G, what do call the color? Love it, Carp!

 

Absolutely great car! Seeing the photos just puts an additional pinch of salt in the wound I got when I sold my A coupe. Seller's remorse.

 

Beautiful!

 

Hi guys.
Neil is a mate of mine who I’ve known for years, as we both live on the same island.

Over the past few weeks I’ve been off work recovering from an operation on my left shoulder.
I can’t really do anything except go for a walk or sit around being bored.
I’ve been meaning to paint/draw Neil’s coupe ever since it hit the roads, but never had the time…..well, I’ve got the time now!

Luckily I’m right handed!
