looking good pal  What u doin with where the bump strips went, or are u just leaving it for the rat look! 
How were the sills and arches when u removed them, any rust? And a new colour then, hmmm?? what could it be!!
I cant pinch any ideas for a while mate, getting married next month so not got a penny to do anything with the car. Looking forward to the updates from yours though and I will be back with a vengence after the honeymoon!!!

I'd be seriously worried if it wasn't! 

Loving the spray booth

[Seanl]

Cheers bud, liking the spray booth!   How did you get the black to fade like that, looks mint! Dont worry, I wont be a trademark thief! Just curious. Think I'm gonna play it safe with a gloss black. All though I was thinking of going white wheels with clear indicators, fogs and repeaters to go with my rears, but I cant do that now thanks to you!!
