Trying keep the costs down as low as possible but still get a good job.
Don't want it showroom condition but want it respectable.
Just over 12 months ago I had a 280bhp Toyota mr2 but sold it cus needed more seats
My bmw is nearly 200 and it feels like driving a slug
I want something that is scary to drive

Re: Project Pete (Project 200)
heard vinyl wrap can be hard, but if you've done it and would give me a hand that would be ace!! I'm still undecided on a colour

Re: Project Pete (Project 200)
Cheers mate, trying get it in best condition as I can. I wire brushed everything down, the sand papered it. Then sprayed it with protective black paint. Iv been really anal with everything tho. It got to the point I bought a toothbrush just to get the dust out the cracks before I sprayed lol

Re: Project Pete (Project 200)
Should have sprayed it with underseal like waxol, last and protects it much longer
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Re: Project Pete (Project 200)
Yeah my plan is to go over everything with waxoyl after iv refurbished it. For underneath iv got etch primer, stone chip, black paint then waxoyl
