DESCRIPTION

Not all heroes wear capes.....

Rhys, a Mitsubishi fan, can trace his love of the brand all the way back to growing up and riding in his Mum's Sigma.

His recent purchase, a one of only twenty Mitsubishi Verada GTVs in extremely rare "Wasp" Yellow paint was a car that was in fact saved from the wrecker!

Rhys, having had the ad brought to his attention by an online enthusiast group he was a part of, quickly snapped up the Verada to use as his new daily. He's since gone about improving it (you'd not recognise it now from the wrecking picture), and he asked me if I was interested in detailing and coating it. As he's currently forced to keep it outside, he wanted it coated to give it some protection and make it easier to maintain.

What he didn't realise is that I, in my previous life as an IT Tech, worked for a not-for-profit and had a Mitsubishi Magna VRX in the same Wasp Yellow. One of about fifty VRXs in that colour made I believe. This one was also a manual, making it even rarer.

When Rhys approached me with the GTV, it brought up some very fond memories of my own car, so needless to say, I was very happy to work on his for him.

The end result is barely recognisable from when this poor thing was at the wreckers. Rhys having effectively save it from a somewhat ignominious demise!
