why you not use scotchbrites for the flatting off. much cleaner.

Usually do use them but needs a bit more due to what the car was covered in and i feel if i put some real time into getting all the panels spot on now i will be much happier at the end,
I`ve found a few rust spots on rear valence so need to get the grinder out and get those sorted also

Went to players today and my personnel favorite was this



Picked up a pair of sill trim clips still in vag wrapping for £10 would have cost me more in new double sided tape!!

Sorry there hasn't been any updates but had to get on with real work

Finished removing paint




Started to polish the inlet manifold, had been done before but needed redoing




Whilst it's been parked someone has dented the wing and door so I need to sort that tomorrow, bought some .5 lips for the bbs rms, these should be here next week

primed bits and pieces this weekend will flat them this week and hopefully get some paint on it saturday, so some nice pics should be uploaded then, i know you all like pics lol

removed headlamp panel and front bumper crossmember and will be taking them to the blasters tomorrow, then get them powder coated thursday

I might buy a new rad as the one in it looks tatty and whilst its all out its and easy swap, plus i have a newly powder coated fan shroud to go on.

removed the front recaros and will get them off to the trimmers to see if they can sort them out

Thought I better take a pic of position of sticker for reference

checked over car today and found it needs two driveshaft gaiters but hopefully that should be all MOT wise.
