Right sorry I haven’t been on for a few weeks. I have been having major problems with the car it all went a bit Pete tongue. If you look through the picture u will c that I have took pics of it as I got it prepped for paint and then of when I painted it and it looked so good. That was until I spent 3 hours flatting and polishing it I put out side only to find that it was the wrong colour and it was patchy and see through. I was gutted and totally pissed off I spent 12 hours the day before painting it and battling with the moonstone base (or what I thought was moonstone) it just wouldn’t cover and after 10 litres I thought it was ok (NOT!!!).

So then a week later I started again but went a little further with it and did the boot and under the bonnet oh and someone decided to dent my front wing . Then it started going all wrong and it started to react on a couple of the edges so I left it and went home and sorted it out the next day thank god it was a bank holiday. Any way its all looking good now and the build up has started.
