I am on holiday at the moment in Canada, the land of the SUV. My girlfriend who i am staying with owns an Escalade which is the most comfortable car in the world. When you are cruising in it you feel like you are big pimping all the time. Another mate has a Yukon Denhali (another SUV) which he let me drive )

Anyway before i left i sent my car into the bodyshop. My car before i left was a complete mess. It was 50% primer and half of it was falling apart.

I was getting done:

Badboy
Semi Smooth (already done myself but needed touching up)
Door handles smoothed (i welded the plates in just needed smoothing)
Smooth bumpers (same deal as the semi smooth)
and everything painted Flame Red

I should be picking up a pair of Cav GSI slab rims this week and then i will spray them black, get the suspension back on so its slammed 60 again and then concentrate on the interior.
