Cheers guys ;)

I gave the old girl a wash this evening. She was covered in bloddy cobwebs and poxy spiders :evil:

After I started to polish the resprayed panels as they were looking very dry.

Not a great picture but the fleck in the paint can be seen

Image

The rear panel that had rust

The whole car needs compounding prior to JAE but that will start nearer the time

I want my rear bumper that good :( very nice!

If I did actually get it redone, I'd probably just end up reversing into something knowing my luck, hit the gate at home with the front the other day!

Today the car has been wet sanded and part machined. Rain has stopped work. A yellow pad and Ultimate Compound has done a good job of removing 2000 grit sanding marks

You will soon ;-) Its nothing spectacular but at least the chips are less obvious now. Still got to lacquer them but that should be done tomorrow and then sanded next weekend to give it enough time to dry.

Just a few pictures from JAE. I know everyones already seen them but hopefully these will spur me onto bigger and better things for the coming year. Everythings been done on a tight budget and this will continue the same.

Thank you for the kind words Shayne ;)

As ive said before there is still a lot of room from improvement though. There are still areas that need work and hopefully thorough the next year this will happen.

Post JAE wash and wax this morning. These were uploaded via 3G so they are not as sharp as could be.
