my mate started on it 10.30 one saturday morning and finished at 6.00 so 7 1/2 hours and it needs about another hour or so on it to do the final coat of filler! i paid him Ł70 and Ł10 for materials! i think it looks mean . ive had someone photoshop an intercooler in, a single wiper, sunstrip and paint it all black so you can see what its like when its done! what do you reakon?
