Looks like something's been eating those doors. Are you sticking with the cav slabs?:thumb:

[Cle]

Doors look like my old ones lol

Good base for a project though mate :thumb:

[P Whack]

no will be getting rid of the cav slabs, got some cavalier expression rims for it, gonna give it a go at a respray myself never resprayed a whole car but used to work in a bodyshop, just found the battery tray has nice size hole so have a complete battery tray may find out how much it would be to get the hole 1 fitted or just get a repair section
