Cracking Job from the look so far! If the finish is as nice as it looks in the photos it'll be a job well done after more detailing and 5 more coats!
Great work

Thank you all for the nice comments, sadly I like the look of d1's too much and the arches give it a fatter look and there black which goes nicely against the paintwork

Yeah love the feeling will wait till next weekend before any sort of polishing starts and will probably get the glass in so that less mess is made and things don't need so much covering up

Hope to get some gloss black during the week and spray the roof and arches next Saturday as this will also need a lot of flatting back to get looking good, will have to template my mk1 windows soon so that dad can send them off to be made in glass, also trying to save for tyres so I can fit my lovely d1 wheels, quoted £44 each fitted, good considering the tyre costs £42 each, going for falkens on my 5x10 as A032's wear too fast and the A008 is more expensive than falkens without any considerable difference. Soon be finished only have 2 months and 24 days till I'm 17
