well got a bit more work done today spent all day getting it all nice and ding and chip free
few bits that needed doing were filler had cracked


though it would be a good idea to smooth the handles into the doors as well. shall see how that turns out.



and after a nice coat of paint



still got doors boot spoiler arches skirts and bumpers to do yet
