been busy the last 3 weeks stripping lowereing and painting my dads old coupe turbo.. I'd forgotten how much work it is to paint cars -I might not had agreed to do it If I'd remembered!
You can't really tell from the old photo's but it did really look a shed up close and the paint was terrible like a patched quilt
Its starting to come on now but still plenty to do -hopefully it should come out a tidy example

What are the plans for the car Scott?
Having stripped more cars than I'd like, I'm always shocked to realise just how much work goes into this.
Best of luck............not too much by the looks of it

Your neighbour looks impressed
The kit looks like it went on easily enough, good fit too.

You've done well matching the colours. It looks like it's a tidy car now.
How do you find the Farecla? I've been meaning to get some to try it out, and not got round to it.
