Phase 1 of tidying the bodywork started today, Started with my bonnet to get rid of the terrible acne it had developed. Used a da to get rid of alot of it and uesd a rust treatment on the rust patches then a light skim of filler on top, then etch/filler primer was used. Tomorow i need to wet flat it and hopefully get some paint on it.

Right not updated in a while.

Got alot done in the bodyshop. No more rust on the bonnet and also filled and painted some small dents on the wongs and a small rust patch near the headlight.





To-do list
- Finish getting bodywork mint
- New wheels (suggestions welcome)
- Lower the rear abit
- De-wiper and de-lock it

What you think?

Nothing has really changed since PVS, but decided to pull my finger out and do some bits on it.

For starters, PVS entrance photo



Ive decided to refurb my wheels and have choose to paint them anthracite. Currently got the front two in the garage being preped ready for primer,paint and laquer in the week.

Also smoothing off my wiper aswell.

Will update with pics when stuff starts happening.

the wheels were actually really quick to prep,only one had a small scuff on it and it sanded out the the da and wasnt dug into the alloy.

Im going for a anthracite colour, probably thprium grey or cossack grey.

haha cool, i havnt seen it done yet, my mate was working on his car at college and had mixed a load of filler and had some left over and i had my wheels and center caps in the workshop and he suggested to smooth the center caps.

next up after the wheels will be smoothing the wiper.
