Cheers for the nice comments folks..

Speedlines are on there way Dave i can assure you! and no your not tripping.. lol

Id sooner Saw the car in half with a swiss army pen knife than fit lexARSE lights..

Gave it a better clean now its stopped raining for more than 30 mins, removed the wheels and cleaned away the 1/2 tonne of break dust from inside the rim, then slapped some paint on the calipers and drums just to smarten it up for the time being.



Pic of in the back for Cheekyalex,



Not what i call stripped but its getting lighter, hopeing to trial fit my cage soon and get Rossco to throw some paint at it for me.

Bit of progress,

Stripped down some 4 stud rear hubs and cleaned them up ready for rebuild calipers have been painted silver, just waiting on new disks pads and shoes so i can rebuild them, and finish of my rear beam so its ready to be swapped over. Just need to find some cavalier rear abs leads.

Put some aluminium primer on my cam cover, no idea why its red!?


Then started to strip out the sound deadning from the boot,
and after getting a headache from the solvents i treated afew rust spots with K'rust


Then slapped some primer on and some paint, bit of a tester to see if this stuff is any good but i recon ill use hammerite to make it abit more durable. (not sure if i should use gloss or satin?)


Gonna have to gut the inside soon to finish it off and get my cage trial fitted, then i can get it painted Orange

Of course you can mate, I will give it to Dan Thursday.

Dans just pointed me in the direction to this thread so I'll have a good read now.
