You really couldn't have been logical and realised instead of willy waving your own car on others threads, you're meant to comment on the actual car contained within the thread?
To everyone else, I'll keep on hacking it to bits till people tell me to stop, don't you worry

Fair enough on the commenting, didn't check the usernames up the page; but to get your car noticed simply post some updates to bring the thread up
As it stands I do like the smoothing work yon your rear bumper, get on smoothing the lines on the front one and get some pics

Plans come an go, when I can new alloys are on the list, a splitter is much needed, whitewalls and whatever I think of on the spot really. Fed up with polish, t-cut and wasted time, I'm not scared to drive a ratty car, because stone chips, dings from other cars, they all add to it in effect.

do it yourself . get a bonnet then get a brillow pad and sandpaper ( or a sander ) and scratch off all the paint once you get down to the metal , get a bottle and fill it with alot of salt and water and give the bonnet a good scrub with that . then apply second coat and leave outside . 2 weeks later yall have a rusty bonnet

Its a damn sight easier to nitro the old paint off, then make really sure you have sanded ever square inch down with a high grade paper (better on a sander thanby hand) so that all the galv is off. Then it'll come out a lot less patchy than mine, but I'm kind of liking the effect so far.
