How can people tell me it's terrible when i hadn't finished the job :| And still havn't finished it.
That's like me saying to someone who has posted pics of their car half rubbed down that it looks terrible when the job isn't finished so how can you comment on their work when it isn't finished?
I know what i am doing as a guy i know used to work in a body shop prepping and spraying cars so he has been pointing me in the right direction it just takes time.
It was primered at that point so i could see the imperfections and rub them down more.
Yes the arch lip is fooked but i can't help that tbh i tried bending it back into place and it just cracks and i end up with more filler on the car.
take your time mate and it will be ace , wots the plans with the car now mate after you get this work done , youve actually give me some insperation to get my **** in gear and get on with my car , but its monday tomorrow and i will never get time to do it , and liveing in ireland its just constant rain lol , besides that mate keep it up .
Err well if the weather would stop being an **** then it would have been finished on 1 side by now...
Basicly the arches have been holding me back from the start a soon as they are done and the side panels it's getting lowered and the skirts will be on...
I have everything waiting just can't do anything till arches and panels are sorted.
Nice Project mate.
Update***
Rubbed down me mirror caps and primered and sprayed them up, just waiting till they dry then will fit um.

You need a rasp on that filler work on the 2nd wheel arch. failing that some low grit paper & work it back until you get the factory line back in the arch.
Wet & dry paper for use after the paint will be 1200 or 1800 grit, use it wet & you'll be amazed how smooth it makes the finish.
Best money you could spend at this stage would be a HAYNES bodywork manual.
Cheers for the no how and i allready have a haynes manual pal.
Ok got on with sorting out the line that was left from the spraying up etc.. by rubbing it down with plenty of T-Cut till it was smooth as a babies bum lol...
Then realised i have ran out of spray and it's windy anyway so i will leave the rest till tomorrow and this is what it looks like right now :) i am pleased with the outcome...
You can just see the line if you look closely where it wil be getting sprayed.
that's 1 side nearly done :)
Comments please!
