altogether the exhaust owes me £70 (backbox £15, centre section £30, then had to have a silencer put in £25)

the story about the exhaust is..

i had a straight thought centre section made and put in (had the cat and silencer removed) but it sounded shite with the standard backbox, so then i bought the backbox, but was very loud and not my cuppa tea at all...

so then i took it back and had a silencer put in the middle..

so no i didnt buy the exhaust 2nd hand

Use a mixture of sandpaper grades, I used as low as 80 grit for some really bad kerbing, used 400 for the majority, and 800. Then use 1200 grit to flat inbetween coats of primer.

WHEELS ARE NOW PAINTED!

used my mates garage to do them in as the weather was fooking awfull

anyways heres the pics in order

primer..





paint..







close up..



laquer..





did a few more coats of laquer then the pics above, so have a very nice shine to them now..

anyway thats where i left them, leaving them to dry for 24 hours before i bring them back here, got to clean up the back of the wheels to remove the bits of yellow (primer) and leave them to dry properly till the end of the week untill my rear springs arrive, then i will be fitting both over the weekend
