Up date just got a call off a sprayer now from my local and the price I've been quoted is just spot on and if I do the prep work it will be cheaper again.

Between 1750 too 2000 grand.

I say that's just right.

Hell yes that price is spot on and now asked if I can store Christine in his workshop too carry out the sanding on her.

He's going to check if he's got storage and if he has, Christine will be stored there ready for the prep and boom we can get her painted and hopefully before xmas.

Can ask a favour please has anyone got any photos of there Pearl black 75's ZT's after its being Polished and also Black Olive as well please.

A chap mentioned Olive black being monogram and does pose a very great idea.

Only thing is I've already ordered the paint Pearl black and Biomorphic green.

Default Lord Rover's back stroy of Christine.

Hiya all I've had some interest in the Biomorphic Pearl Project and thought I'd hare the back story of Owner ship of Christine.

Be advised may make your eyes water, in terms on what I did simply because I like to be different regardless what the world says lol.

She started life as a Copper leaf red and paper she's a Rover 75 Connie SE, in 2012 I needed very baldy as my MK Mondeo diesel decided too kill its self, so needing a car for work I needed a reliable diesel engine.

That's when the 75 came in saw one in Colwyn bay and bought it for 500 she needed work, but that was okay I enjoy tinkering with cars in its my blood, At the Start she was expansive too maintain after things Failing straight after each, but once everything was sorted My god was she spot on, Trouble free motoring for 3 years straight and took me here there and everywhere, I Really looked afterd this motor, sometimes going a bit extreme with the servicing every 3000 miles oil changes and fuel filter changes and it did show.

The only issue I had over the years really was the drop links, but other then that's nothing major.

After all that it was time for modifications, too start with I bought the MG ZT bumper so I could respray it in the same colour copper leaf red and then put them on and make a 75/ZT Hybrid, Sporty exterior with comfort and luxury as the 75 interior, you got too love Walnut wood trim and leather seats that so relaxing to be in, Did a test fit of the bumpers and it was then during my test that X Power Grey and Copper leaf red worked so well and I was so impressed I decided to convert too a Two tone, In my eyes I loved it and stuck with it, Not many people liked it but this is me too me it was fantastic just like to go with the flow and do things simply because I can.

More modifications came into play and so on, The pictures will give you an idea what I did too her.

I really do like these cars very much, I'm a ford fan by heart, But there's always room for the 75/ZT in it because they are great cars and as long there is places like this on here, the Legacy of these fine machines will continue too live on.

Best thing I ever did was get her back and now I'm enjoying the ownership and will continue too do so all over again.
