So been working on gus again , fitted my new steering wheel and sanded all the rear beam and drum assembly painted it and re painted my callipers etc at the front anyway pics .........

this is how the beam looked






then after much sanding (took me ages) it was painted this was just before i finished it hence the missed bits





repainted the front from red to black (much better) i think anyway


the rear arches were caked in mud so i cleaned them both down
before


after not the best photo but trust me it was alot cleaner than before !


so this was boring and drab


so i binned it


and fitted this





also the front lower part of the shell was looking like it needed some attention ...





and so



that was all the work i did today not alot i know but hey so ill leave you with some parting shots thanks g

vaux steering wheel anyone ?



Also forgot to mention i did this !!







parting shot as i promised
