some pictures of todays mincing, removed the towbar, looks well better






gave it a quick clean up underneath, was going to go over it with more hamerite to freshen it up but will wait untill tommorrow


removed the towbar and decided to seal up the bolts for the time being as after christmas i will be getting the towbar bolts welded and filled when the interior gets a fresh coat of paint

me and my neighbour stevie (caliscotia who comes on here) after a washing session

Looking cool, are the bumpers going colour coded then?

I agree with GaryVaux, i like the standard plastic finish, looks well against the blue. And that way you have no problems with stone chips

Looks good and solid underneath

the bumpers, door handles and boot grab are all getting colourcoded, thers a small scuff mark on the drivers side innerwing thats pissing me off, its once had an induction kit on it when it had the fuel injection system so theres a mark from the cone filter where its been rubbing against the paint, the bootfloor is also getting a freshen up
