After spending some cash putting most of the car into a safe driving state , I.e rear trailing arm bearings not demolished and rear arms dangerously moving around along with two rear wheel bearings drop links top mounts and new lowering springs and fresh oil and filter , rockercover gasket I spent some time on making it look a bit more presentable

you two have really raised the bar for paintwork by the look of those pics, and having had a respray nearly 2 years ago i remember how great it looks and how scared you are to park it anywhere shocked

Thanks for the comments,Yeah I am always like that anywhere I park , got a few stone chips already but if need be just paint the bumper in again if feel the need. It's satisfiying knowing that all the graft was worth it in the end ,And all the blue boggies I got when painting it, ha ha :-)
