its a bit further on than fairfield garage. opposite the chippy there is a little driveway which leads to Broure bros and arlesey carpets and a couple of other businesses. There is a sign for them where the drive meets the road.

trust me m8 u dont find that many body shops using sanders if u do then theyre shit. its seriously gotta be done by hand because u just dont get the finish wih a sander and u get small dents and it just looks a mess, get your self alot of 800 and start scrubbing it down make sure u use hot soapy water aswell.

i gotta sk u did u have the arch replacment panel? if so u didnt use it all did u? :? there made so u can cut them down i wouldnt use the whole lot. i used about 2mm of the arch on mine! im gonna be doing my other arch now and also sorting all the crap out on the car and also having it re-sprayed profesionally now maybe in black? im not doing anymore work on it sod it it can go in the garage lol.

criminal! :(

as i said im pretty good with the elec sander and i will do it fine :lol:
i will do the final sand by hand but im goin to do most of it with elec sander

done some sanding today and its starting to look sweet
i think you guys are goin to love it

:D kool Get Some Pic's up soon

ill get some on sat when its goin to get all done

looking sweet as im telling ya
done the front arch with fibre glass to pack out and filler over the top to make it dead smoothe

i think it looks much better with the front and back arches not there

Mental keep goin man

i would do if it wasnt raining

im now goin for the smoothe look
all arches removed and smoothed
all the apnel lines on the sides and doors bein removed and al line on the boot bein removed and flushed
goin to look such a diffrent car in a few weeks

mate it looks like u have fillered straight 2 paint!
this wont last long if u have

ive ruthened up the paint quite alot before puting it on so i think it will give a good key for the filler to sit on

here`s some more pics as promised

here a pic of my exhaust on now and hole made for that and the flush boot put on but needs smoothing out
also put on the preditor spoiler
