    a lot lower, GTE wheels ( or maybe wide wheels), tidy the scabby bits, lower half grey and front rally fogs, thats about it

    painted my wheels today

    smooth white hammerite mixed with standard celly thinners, worked perfect





    also started doing some sill work, after a bodgy job before.... rest off the sill is mint which was a relief

    I'm going to remake the arch as its only really the lower half thats rusty and I don't want to cut too much steel away
