The spoiler look's amazin. Although it would have looked good if you had panted it right if the first place. Lol less of the taxi comment, its better than a escort that look's like its ramraided halford's

Right guys i need yuor opinions.............

Ive been working on the car tonight, and ive come to the conclusion that im really not that happy wwith the car,

After all the hard work thats been done theirs 1 thing thats really letting the car down, its the paint work its never been the best paint job, but after putting new freshly painted part back on it, it really shows up how tatty the car really is, now these r my options......................

1. stop the resto completly save a large sum of cash n send the car off to blue oval garage,

2 just carry on bolting the car back together, drive it like i stole it, enjoy the hard work including going to the ring, then worry about things when my tired lump expires,

or

3 give the car a lick of paint in my garage, it wont b the best job but it will really tidy the car up, but i stand the chance of missing going to the ring in october

all opinions welcome?

Depends what you want from it Jay.
If you want a show car that you will spend more time polishing than driving, then wait for some more money to come in and get a top notch paint job done,or:

Give it a paint job in your garage, and then drive it how you want to.Er, to a degree
I reckon you could turn out a decent respray yourself,then get out and use it. You know you want to
