Basicly, im 50% through doing the underside of my uno turbo, and wanting some more ideas as to what you lot have done.

can you also put what materials you used to paint the underside? e.g. hammerite etc!

cheers people

thats exactly why im doing mine on my uno turbo. Just want it to be clean under there so you can see what your working on and also see when the rust starts lol

like you AJC, if it were concourse id never want to use it! even tho they look stunning!

keep the pics coming, they all look proper minto!
