Supra Gaz Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Car looks cool, I'm really impressed with how it all looks so smooth. Any idea when it will be all put back together? Oh and what are you doing with the wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Are you close to getting it on the road after the re-spray is finsihed? It looks like the interior needs to go back in but that's no biggy normally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the interior needs to go back in but that's no biggy normally. 4-5 months of hard saving, beside running costs there some bits and bobs i want, once i get it on the road with money in the bank to, im all good, and thats the plan:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdistc Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I must say I'm quite impressed with the result of the D.I.Y. - I, like I'm sure many of us, was dubious in the extreme that someone could get a decent result from this... but I'm pleased to say that I was mistaken. Good job! Now, turn your D.I.Y. skills to neatening up that engine bay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purity14 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 interested on how to keep that clean? obviously cant wax it? I had matt black bonnet on a previous car, and the hardest was water marks.. looked great when clean and great when wet. Problem is washing it, takes ages for it to be perfect.

But if this is how you do a respray, I'm interested to see what you'd finish up with after an "all out" engine bay attack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Decent set of wheels are you'll be laughing Kev. To be honest I thought that this was going to be a disaster. It's nice to be wrong.......occasionally..!! Well done. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
