Thanks for all the comments i went and got the red pinstripe from halfrauds but it wouldnt stick to the rub strips so i gave up lol
just a few pics of how it stands at the moment

Ignore the missing tow cover lol








The paint looks faided but its not lol

Only things i have done scince sorting the mot are

-Flat blades
-Painted boot badge black
-Re-fitted all the interior and the standerd drivers seat
-Drilled the air box

now i just want to tidy up, repair the bumper scuff and just sort the rust spots etc

With the pin stripe mate you need to clean your bumpers just where your going to stick it I just used some white spirits then get yourself a hair dryer warm the surface up and apply the stripe with some heat not to much and it will stick fine.

Havnt updated my thread in ages purley for the fact i have been lazy lol not much has happend really.
done abit of sill repair which came up pritty good, starting to refurb my wheels after geting robbed for 2 new tyres lol

This is how the sill started, it has been welded up by the previous owner and was a sh!t job and had faild





After some filler and sanding it came out like this



And after a lick of paint :-)



Cheers

Dont look a bad job Mat looks better than it did before and fair play for having ago yourself im sh*t at doing stuff like that

Looks an ok job but i'd guess the rust will be back pretty quickly. I'm assuming you got the grinder out & took it back to bare metal before any filling? The only sure fire way to get rid of rust is to chop it out & weld in new metal in it's place, but as a temp fix yours looks fine

Also try using thinner coats of paint next time
