ok guys a long over due update,had saturday off work this week so spent most of the day on the car,job for the day was to stone chip the underside a job i wasnt really looking forward to.
apart from running out of stone chip and not getting the whole underside finished everything went well,let me know what you think.

Squeeky clean under there Jeff, I know it's been a hard slog getting the underside as it is now but looking at those photos makes it all worthwhile i reckon.

thanks for the comments lads,ive come to a decision that i wont be painting the underside in moonstone.i want to be able to use the car and not worry about the underside looking shitty in a couple of years.
couple of pics i forgot of the inner wings and sills.



also had to repair the body kit on the front.

micky46964

Will do was gana cum round the other night but a was busy al defo come next time tho

cozzy jeff

iTrader: (4)

well with great deliberation with friends ive changed my plans,the reasons for not painting it was cost and the effort to do the job,but after pricing up the materials to do the job its a no brainer but to paint it.
ive never painted anything of this size before ive always used rattle cans so will have to see how it goes,ill update once i get started.
couple of pics of what i bought today.
