Would you really rat a mk 4,5 or 6 though. I did it to my mk2 just cos its being replaced by a mk1 eventually

woh!..... At no point did I say I was going to rat a bonnet.. I simply complimented Lemski's work then said I have spare bonnet and when I get time I might have play with it!  :rolleyes:

Anyway, another update on the way...  :cool:

I don't think a semi will give the same results

Once the wings were properly dry they looked sh*t up close, grey patchy areas, I think the cold damp air fooked them as the stuff I did previously in proper daylight were fine... I used a rubbing compound and then polished them, looked worse!  Cleaned everything with alcohol and Keyed them both back.................. AGAIN!  :angry: Resprayed and the paint reacted!... FFS!!!!!  :angry: So did that step for another time until all was good.  And between coats I had light help from this to keep things warm...  :smiley:



Not going to post all the pics for that as i'm sure you're sick of seeing my wings now!

Comparison Pic NS wing and BBS arch  :cool:



Now both done but after the disaster I am very unhappy with the finish on the NS wing but it will have to do as I need to move on!



Keyed the primed skirt and painted





and oh look..... what do we have here!!!!!?...................................













And with a BBS arch wedged in place!





Got to get my smaller tyres fitted!!!  :cool:

Shame mate all that work, this is why I've decided to borrow a booth for an hour or so!
I figured I'll prep the boot lid and then just paint in a booth down the road to minimise the cold weather damage!
The rest is coming along though compared to your first page! Arches looking really good spot on IMO!  :cool:

  Thanks............... Simply because of the grafting the way I feel right now I wouldn't give this car up for anything!!!  It's more mine than it ever was!

Sadly I don't know anybody round here that can help me with that... would kill to borrow a unit or something.. I can't afford to rent anything commercial even if there was something.

Thanks mate.... with the kit coming together this satin is really growing on me more than I thought it would... if this was a standard car then I dont think it would but i think it will look quite moody when finished.... ????
