Black 3 door-restoration- ***UPDATED 28/11/10*!** Up & running & Interior pics***

R5FORD · 29-07-2009, 01:37 PM

Hi guys..

Picked up our cossies yesterday after a long wait.

Gave them both a wash and the moonstone came up near perfect

The black one looked abit sorry for itself, the paint work seemed abit dull and there were a fair few scratches..

From the pic below you can see how sorry the paint on the bonnet was looking ( right side has been T-cutted, Polished, resined and waxed..)

Took me all of a hour and a half to get a 30x30 cm square to look like that but its all been done by hand

and well wort it..

Today I also got the tyres fitted to my wheels and I got a pic of my brakes

More updates soon..

Tomorrow job is to put the bumper on

and more polishing
