Well hats of to you for doing most of it yourself,
But i feel the metal flake spoils the car along with the lemon leather a nice tan would look better!
But all done now and looks a good finished article

I have always wanted metal flakes and i love them. The colour of the leather is stunning when u see it in the flesh.
I will be driving the car every day, the camera on the speedos are being sorted as we didnt have much tme to get it right and i have another set of scutter panels so i can have window wipers.

Next up I suggest a hose kit and hire PainZ for the day to clean your bay up

Yes that is correct. The car was supposed to go 2 max on a trailer, but it would go on  So i had to drive it there, but as i got to the motorway it started to rain! It wasnt heavy rain so still managed to see.
The smoothed scutter is only for shows, the other wil be put back on tommow so i can drive it again.
