Old wheels are in the for sale section and soooooooooo unsure about fitting the Rst kit :sad: (ill have to raise the front by 30mm minimum to ensure clearance is ok but I'm loving the low look :sad::(:sad::()

Did the doors today,cards,handles,new weatherstrips,fitted bootlid and a quick wash over to get shot of all the dust

Bonnets back on too.......but wrong bleeding shade of white so the spray gun will be back out tomorrow :smile:

Right........finally got the paint on and looking tidy after murders with some silicon spots :sad:

And just enough left to sort out this little mess someone left me,brilliant white is NOT diamond white,even if you let the grey primer show through :(grrrrrrr 21239DF9-7848-4CBF-AC45-E6B8391FB4A2_zps

At first I thought the yellowish bits was watery rust but its a liberal coating of waxoyle,looks like I'm going to be busy with the thinners & a paintbrush again :sad::(:sad::(

Hopefully found a"show"of sorts to go to soon too :smile:
