'glass bumpers and boot lid all finished, added a little mirraflake into the silver paint for a bit of sparkle. Wet flatted the whole car with 1200 to try and make something of the awful paint, It's flatter, it has less drips and it almost shines...

Yes should make the Nats with it, going to be a last minuate thrash as usual though :roll: Mossy, I have a 'glass bonnet to fit but no scoop as yet, job for next winter I think. Bryan, not much in the way of aftermarket gauges fitted yet, another job to do for next year.
