right as i said in the last update the paint didnt finish too well on top of the bonnet because of all the shit in the air !

so this evening i got timbo on the case ! he flatted it all with 1200grit paper and soapy water ! then buffed it all back up with some g10 polish ?!?!

well it came up lovely !!
the paint is a touch more orangey then the original colour but i cant expect it to be spot on with 13 year old body work !
and im sure when it ages a bit it'll be alright

heres all the pics for tonight !






old bonnet off !! yesssss ! lol



new bonnet on !



then popped the escos grill in ! just need to get a new ford badge and make a couple of brackets




then got all the under bonnet bits back on !



and the near on final product !



really happy with how it came out !
hopefully the paint wont be too noticable in the lsun light it shouldnt be bad

what ya think ?
