have been busy boy today putting car back together, these are few pics before as it was going dark, smoked the front lights just a little and smoked the rears also, just gotta fit interior pannels now and number plates on and sort front lights out just resting in for now!

also boot is not closed cos not put catch on yes still gotta fit solonoid to it!!

happy with it its just the front bumper spoils the whole look of the front end, really like the back tho, makes u realise how good gaps are on bumpers and stuff these days when u work on a 15year old car!!!

here are the pics!!

Yeah the front does look gay but thats not your choice, work looks good though. Can barely see the sparkles, which i suppose is a good thing. How do you go about smoking the lights?

flakes come put to plan in the sun or under lights!

i just mix up some 2k laquer and then tint it with tiny bit of jet black 2k paint then spray it on in few coats till its as dark as u want it!!

Car looks awesome, just needs to have the front bumper changed and different wheels. pity it wasn't sunny when the picturesw were taken, we could really do with seeing how much the flakes actually show in it.
Well done mate, the cars are all amazing!

looks very gd mate but just a little tip, black inside of the arches aswell as that brings out it much better and if u have overspray on them its easy to sort out!

I was just away to say that, amazing what a quick spray of black does inside the arch.

Anyway, Looking Good, Top Job.

goot idea people, will do that i got little black paint somewhere!!!

i am not gonna brag and say my re spray is betta than a bodyshop cos it should not be cos i have no trailing and just a diy booth but i think they are pretty good, have not buffed the car up yet either! had little play with trying to get rid of the 3 runs i had on the car and was sprisingly happy with how it went just da sanded the run off, then wet and dryed it then little g3 and was lovely and smooth!!!!! well chuffed! gonna have a blast at buffing the whole car now i think, should get it really nice and shiny then!

lad came to c the car and was over the moon and just got few bits and peices to do to it then he will be picking it up next weekend! iaz
