Looking good tho, i like old bangers, its like a blank canvass!

the exact words i have used to describe it before :grin:

I've got some very strong double sided tape so i might use that to temporarily hold the spoiler on, then i can decide wether i like it or not... will get a mate to photoshop it white aswell

as for bumpers mine are ruined and they are textured so the entire thing would need sanding, if i do paint them then i would be better off getting some GL bumpers first

i think im going to smooth the swage line aswell, i think white cars look good clean/smoothed

deffinatly not matte white, only looks good on newer cars imo and is a pita to keep clean
If i painted it a different colour it would be nato green or grey... but its staying white for now

Will have a look at those meets, been looking for somthing local for a while

Need to get the wheels sorted soon, so stuck them on and got a picture to photoshop so i can decide on a colour

Its hard to get an idea atm as it will all be colour coded eventually, but let me know your opinions

I just did a few colours to get an idea, came out a bit metalic but im not that good with photoshop so will have to do...lowered it too




this is supposed to be a sort of baby blue



tried out a black roof too



while fitting the cups i noticed it may need some archwork done, although once lowered it should pull the wheel in a bit
