Thanks for the pics there bud, looks like a load of different cars :D

Cheers Dom :afro:

I sooooo badly want it back now!!! Should get it back this week, just going to get the wheels sorted and fitted before I go away and then show it at the Devon Car Show the after I get back, then crack on with the other bits i want to do:

- remove tint
- fit new rear lights
- wrap VR headlight lenses.
- HID's for hella's and wrap glass lenses
- wrap headlining and pillars in material

There is a good chance the first three will be done before I away, so its ready for the show. Rear lights will be fitted when i put the car back together this week. Going to print the VR lights wrap at work and it shouldn't take long to fit. Tint should be easy enough to remove and got the gear at work to clean windows, etc.

My list of stuff which is on the cards when i can afford it/justify them. AKA the Wish list:

- Spax RSX Coilovers
- Quaife Differential Kit

A lot of cost with respraying comes in removing the parts etc.

Most of the cost of my respray was labour as every window, seal part was removed. Also the interior was taken out before painting etc. Cost of paint is relativly cheap and dont take long to paint compared to days and days of prep.

All in all it looks like a pretty good job and if you are getting it for nothing or next too then cant complain!

I paid a reasonable amount for mine!

Thats pretty good for a whole car. I had to get a 1/4 litre and some aero primer and that came in at £30  :shocked:

I just got a text from Alex, and it doesn't sound good, but I'll wait for him to break the news.  :cry:

There's a run in the paint?
