Been out in the sunshine all day playing with some bodywork products.

This is pre-wash



This is after a good wash and leather.



This is a pic of the dull faded paint on the rear near the lights. You can't really tell but there were patches like this all over.



Out comes the t-cut

really nice paint for a car of its age! well done fella, as said id go for shocks and springs, i had eibach springs on mine and they were sh!t hot, got coils now tho and they are cack, ride is too crashy, cant wait to get some decent shocks and eibach springs again.

i wouldnt take it too low on coils it makes cars so hard to live with.

looks nice and original, dont change it!  :smiley:
