Started on the rust removal today, there were scabs of rust on both doors on the same place in the bottom corner, they have now been ground back and rust treated then askim of filler over the top.

Then used high build primer on them and wet flatted them aswell.

Also going to repair the dent that was put there by a twat with a trolley before i bought it and theres a small patch of rust near the passenger window.

will get pics soon....

Update time..... Been busy in the bodyshop again.

Finally got round to painting it today, Painted both sides apart from the from wings, turned out quite well considering the time scale i had to get it done, It still needs to be flatted then polished and should look awesome.

Got some pics of what i done.

Small rust scab by the rear window

Drivers side door rust repair

Passenger side masked up ready to go

Also started on my arches, got a few coats of filler primer on them after college, will be going black tomorow (weather dependant)

The weathers been crap today so didnt get anything done, arches that have been primed are ready for paint though, might wait till its all primed them paint them all at the same time.

Everythings ready for when i flat and polish it, just need a dry day now.

Then i need to clean the inner arches and paint them black along with the sills.

Good work looks really nice! Give the arches some more lacquer to match the shiny-ness of the rear quarter

Started trying some bits in the carbon wrap, so far done 2 center caps and the air circulation slider bit. got some pics aswell, i found it quite easy in the end, just takes abit of paitence to get it round the curves.

Tomorow im going to do the other 2 center caps and other easy accesable/removable pieces as ive got the day off work and will have plenty of time to spend on the car.
