Featured Replies

Cheers guys, alot harder than i thought it would be....... wanted to put the other door on too but discovered that I've lost one bolt and the pin for the middle door stay.....

Also found out that i have no idea where my door handles and all the locks and latches are..... oh dear! :retard:

woww alot of good work thrown into that.

well done :-)

Its coming along now though tbf

Sure You will find all the locks etc.

Theres still things that i haven't put back on the car after spraying it, they must be in one of the garages somewhere though :lol:

looks so good cant wait to see the end result, great colour choice.

this car-jack is the shit :D i work with those "small" ones too :)

did i get it wrong or is the area below the grill unpainted?
