Whole car mate. Less than 3 figures Will see how his work is. But have seen it before and it's good. He said there are a couple that might be too bad to get 'perfect' but close. Yeah Phil, he was a good chat!

Yeah she did mate. Amazing what a quick fly past with the machine does!! On another note, also spoke to a friend of a friend today about having the dents pulled. Gave me a really good price. So that'll be getting done at the end of the month too.

Cheers Simon. Haha it's true Alex! Cutting it fine mate!
-
Get your engine running!! Lol Cheers gents.

And a quick one of the brace. Needs a desperate clean under the bonnet!

And then today, took the wheels upto @phill1975 had the tyres swapped and stuck em on! Love it now, stance is exactly how I wanted/hoped it would be. These are 15x7j et 35. Also had my front VTis lip properly sprayed. I'd consider myself pretty good with a can, anyone who sees the wheels close would agree, but I cannot match PB from a can! Just can't get it! So well worth sending it away. A quick once over with the machine polisher ready for next week too. Coat of wax, she's looking her best again! And finally, added a tigewa 3 point front brace, matches to the bay perfectly and tightens the front up nicely. Quite a noticeable difference actually! Impressed. Thanks to @Chandler again! Ill let the pics do the rest of the talking! Phil hard at work!!

Bloody uploads and their iffy rotations!!! Then on to the lacquer. Love how this brings it out. And for those wondering, yes, it's the same gunmetal I did the standards in. Obligatory baking with the sitting room fire

Next, next was wheels! Been after something with a better filament. Debated a set of JR's but saw these come up and eBay, and with a little photoshop help from Jake, it had me sold. This is how they arrived. Paint looked ok from a distance. But get up close, it was as if they'd done it with a brush! But they were a good price and the chap posted them for free! Trial fitment. Off to @Chandler for some blasting, cheers mate!! There was an absolutely heroundeous 'plastic' coating on them that you just couldnt get off by hand sanding! This made it much easier! Started on the primer. Quick rub down and colour coat.

Soooooooo Massively long time since any update!!! Quite a but has happened last few weeks. So, first bit, VTis skirts. Not the most exciting stuff, but makes a massive visual difference. and also, most importantly absolutely no signs of the rot!

HAHA ! I think also its best to stay with genuine H? I think ppl say the hardrace or the like are a little hard and make the M a little twitchy ?

Clean enough! Have to ask though, how/when/why did you marry this woman based on her car preferences? quote - "that wasn't a Honda, Civic, or Accord" Thats divorcible in my books
