As if i needed another car to occupy my time, i bought this little fella two weeks ago for a few hunder quid. Its just something to work on when i have time, between work and rallying, its going to be a wee bit of fun for track use, nothing serious, just a laugh. Theres a few pics below, bear in mind that it was cheap!!

(a few are off my phone - sorry)

Front - when i got it: (note nice toothpaste coloured calipers)



Rear - when i got it:



Rear arch before:



Rear arch after - not too bad i reckon:




Random - no grill, swapping indicators over:



New grill, still in primer, clear lenses on:



Painted boot handle strip:



and may fave part of the car:



what do you think? i know im not doing anything in any kind of order but its'll all get done. opinions/suggestions welcome...

What was the process involved in spraying the rear arch? Need to get my rear sprayed up sharpish.
