looks good so far bud... are you painting the repairs yourself...????

Possibly my plan is i got the old licence plate surround here so im gonna destroy half and try painting again and see if my blending skills are up to the job

Nice one boss hat man! I don't think I'd dare do that myself so respect to you!

Looks good so far!

Cheers man i bet you would be fine though if you had a go

id be to scared incase i went to far... knowing my luck the filler would fall out before i even got a chance to paint :roll::oops::lol::lol:

yeah as said mr brown... top work ;)

:lol::lol::lol::lol: thing is i just went for it and as for too far :lol: i went as far as clean metal see i used a dremel type grinder (its actually a draper one but same affair) very precise as its so small

Thanks for your comments guys i got no more progress to report as it has been raining all day Damn Weather :lol::lol::lol:

I'm feeling the same :(

I've got stuff I want to bolt on!

I think the weather had a part to play in why I gave up with mine, so many little jobs to do but too cold and wet to get out there to do them! I'd have yet another VTEC to fettle with as a second car though! But funds and space don't allow :lol:
