i just went on the plastikote website and had a look at all the different finishes. I'm really happy with the colour.

nice one cheers. yeah it looks really nice!

Wow, i hadn't looked in here for a while. What a transformation

Looks fucking amazing

Simply have to get some pics of this and mine together, if u still have this when the satin one is finished.

Would look sick!

What paint have you used?

i used this paint

i used about 11 cans and i didnt do the engine bay. got different plans for that :)

thinking about selling it now. if anyones interested. give me a pm

bought some more bits

got this for £40. bargain :)

bought a new fuel pump

got these for free off a friend, he said they were just taking up room lol. to be fair they do reduce under-steer

welded a proper flexi to the exhaust

and i got these as a deposit for a set of wheels :) so a cheap cheap month for me

not much done really to the car over the last few months. the 1.6 project was going to cost well over a grand to do what i wanted so i have scrapped that idea. iv sold the bottom end.

since we have been getting more rain i started to get a leak and it got really bad. after a few weeks of searching i noticed it was coming from near the battery tray. to my amaizing surprise i found fiber glass and lots of it :( this is what it was hiding lol

from underneath

started to trim off all the rust

cut it all out

will get some pics up of the finished work
