Default Black 3 door-restoration- ***UPDATED 13/12/13*!** updated 3 years on LOL

Hi guys..

Picked up our cossies yesterday after a long wait.







Gave them both a wash and the moonstone came up near perfect The black one looked abit sorry for itself, the paint work seemed abit dull and there were a fair few scratches..

From the pic below you can see how sorry the paint on the bonnet was looking ( right side has been T-cutted, Polished, resined and waxed..)




Took me all of a hour and a half to get a 30x30 cm square to look like that but its all been done by hand and well wort it..


Today I also got the tyres fitted to my wheels and I got a pic of my brakes







More updates soon..

Tomorrow job is to put the bumper on and more polishing
