top work  :smiley: are you putting new rims on this one ?

Yup, eventually! Once the rest of the outside is how I want it, I'll sort the suspension and then the wheels. They're quite a long way down the list of jobs though :grin:

What about the smoothed rear hatch, when is that happening? :wink:

I'm pretty sure that I don't! :grin:

On a separate note, now that the valance has had a few coats of colour in a couple of hours time i'm going to start with the clear coat. What do people think about flatting back the colour before the clear coat? I've read a few guides and some say flat it back and others say don't :undecided:

Ok, so clear coat is done and the result is pretty damn good if I don't say so myself :smug:

This has been drying for about an hour now but I'm going to leave it overnight before I touch or move it, getting good with rattle cans:



In a couple of weeks it'll get a good polishing up which will hopefully improve the finish slightly but i'm more than happy with it :smiley:
