Wow, thats stunning, your underside resto looks spot on. Any chance you could let me know how much your 3m sealant set you back and where you bought it from?

That looks really stunning mate, the other cars you had look great too, especially the s1 cab I love the escort mk3

The underside of the fiesta looks lovely, but how dit you get all the old stuff of the underside? I'm now busy with the underside but it take me ages to get rid of the old stuff


Cheers
