muz the windows were of ebay, paid like £102 for them, is that a good price? i got them as i needed them regardless of price..

going to have to get a plate of perspex to put over the sliding door for when im commuting so it doesnt get stolen lol :o



carb boy.. i want your bonnet but you dont see me complaining!! haha :lol: :lol: :lol:

im going to do a big push with it this weekend so will be something like this weekend hopefully

im going to carpet the interior with acoustic cloth like they use on sub box's so it keeps a bit of noise out for the travel to work etc

then we started preparing for paint and sorting the body work.

Spent from 3pm preping on saturday and we were spraying untill 2am! :cry: :cry:

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

some action shots of my mate at work

Image

Image

we called it a night at 2am :aaah:

then when i went to check in the morning something had gone quite a bit wrong, even my mate didint know why it happend :cry:

Image

Image

Image

now i know its only a track car but thats pritty bad :cry:

we tried to polish it out but no joy, so we stripped it all back on sunday and did a proper job rather than a quick blow in like we did before. Filed in as many of the little dints we could, smothed my wiper and lock seen as we were doing the work anyway and sorted a few little bits that were anoying me for a long while.

Then today monday we flatend it all again and repainted, only just finished at 11.30pm and its safe to say we have both had enough, fingers crossed that nothing goes wrong while its drying over night else i will be suicidle as i want my car back :cry:

will update pics tommorow

had a busy few weeks i tell thee!
