well then, this afternoon was spent on the Rat... took the
plunge and compounded the paint work , soon got the
hang of it and gained confidence with the electric
compounder, had a few marks on the front so I had to
flat it back twice, now ok. then I polished it up with the
electric mop ....heres some pics as it is now..
got to get some 3m hand glaze now..

Most importantly; NO ZIPS!!!

Looks gorgeous, is the top a cream or white? cant tell because of the light, looks cream, looks tasty

So if you had the bodywork time again would you style/do anything differenty?

Can't wait to see it get kitted out now, doing anything special inside?
