cheers for the comments guys , am hoping to get it all painted for saturday . its been a harder job than a expected as alot of paint just flaked of with not being rubbed before resulting in the engine bay what i thought would be prep,d in a day ending up taking 5 .

but thats the joys and just had to plod away , as a paint cars nearly everyday but at least this is something a enjoy working on and will be as pleased with the out come as davie will

Riiight, wee/big update!

Steve's been flat out/stressed out and everythin else! we had a wee prob wi frozen white so decided best to change the colour to Audi Iris white! the bright white you see on all the new cars!
So that meant steve had to re-do some of his hard work cheers mate!!!

Heres the pics i'll let them do the talkin













Compared to frozen its ALLOT whiter!!! Im actually pleased the colour was changed, Steve's put in allot of work and it shows!!
