No need for all the slagging about the car to be fair, I personally dont like big kitted cars but wouldnt jump down someones throat for doing it? This is what the lad/his missus likes and wants to put money into it so shouldnt people be a bit more supportive, JagCorsa was the biggest heap ive ever seen but everyone loved it cause of who owned it, and thats all that seems to matter on this site

Are you having a laught mate or what?
Why do people do bodywork when they have no idea what they are doing?
Where do i even start..........
- What is the Fiberglass suppose to key to mate when you havent removed OR even ruffed up the paint (suppose to remove it)?
- How are planning on smoothing the filler so its level with the paint when you are just putting it ontop of the paint? so when you primer the car you will have a ring around the areas you have filled as its higher.
-How are you planning on smoothing out the wood screw's? when they stick out of the kit and if you just bang filler over the top it will do eather 2 things fall off or you will have a bump where ever strew is.
I am not even going to carry on BUT i can see this one ending it tears.
DO NOT DO BODYWORK IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING

Alot are just slagging it off too though, and thats who I aimed it at, I agree about the bit you said about doing bodywork though, its alot harder than it looks, I wouldnt attempt it myself like.

modified a few cars, i do the fibrlassing at work aswell or repairs aswell as been a painter. Shame before he started it he didnt ask n e one on here for help. No doubt he will get finsihed n pretty smooth but ill gaurentee highs n lows everywhere and that front bumper doesnt even look level. But hopefully it will end up ok for him/ his burd as i dont want her to leave him over this lol
