well last nite i preped abit of rust i found ground it down to bare metal with my little dremel which worked very well then put a thin layer of filler over it and flettened it back so it was smooth ready to primer

put a few coats of primer on last night aswell ,which should be nice and dry by the time i get back from work tonight, and il giv it a quick sand with some 1200 grit and the get abit of paint on.

also started work on the engine aswell was up until the early hours of the moring lol mum thinks I'm mad but removed the rad e.c.t and just need to undo the head bolts and then i can take the head off

the get the petrol out and remove all the crappy wax and grim and then t-cut the bay.

will put pic up later :)

I'm going to roll on the light grey coulour mattigs for the time being until i can afford to get the rims painted properly

black centres and red lips f.t.w

then get some low pro tyres think ill go for 165/55/13 as the about half the price of the 175/50/13

max
