Whats up with the FIA and GT3 stuff :)?

Also did you filter the air feed to your air gun to remove any water/oil traces ? If not that's probaly the reason for those fish eyes...


FIA GT3 stuff is old work bits, used to work for race team running these..

as well as many other race series, same as the photos and other momentos in the garage. Yes used catch resivior and online filters fish eyes came from incorrect application of panel wipe

Just reread the thread to catch up, and wow, great stuff! The shell looks fantastic, as does the rear subby.

And as above, that's not a mess :P
