I've got 20 people watching blue Capri that is at a buy now price I don't get it !!

thats the best way mate,i never do bit by bit,always do the whole thing at once to get the same finish,thats why yours others turned out different.

people just watch things on ebay to see if it gets brought,that way they can put them on at the same price if it sells.

it reminds me of the garage we went to in madrid when we were driving home from spain last christmas and the clutch went on the van we were stuck there in a tiny little town called buitrago del lazoya and spent new year there camping sleeping in the van while we waited for a clutch to arrive and be fitted 585 euro it cost lol and it was freezing in the mountains in the middle of winter lol but the garage was exact to that
