Hi all will be posting pics soon, but just though I would post anyway as I am so excited.

Got my FD resprayed this week and went to take a look today:)

Kept black as its my fav colour, but the guy spraying it said we have a litre of paint left we will do any interior parts as well :) well I think he wished  they would have never said that as I started to strip the cars insides, any thing which could be sprayed was ripped out, and is now colour coded, and they prepered it all for me:) I am sure they had no idea so much could be removed:) I had to remove and put it back in though.

Whilst it was in I got the spoiler removed, ariel and rear wiper, fancied the bare arsed look. whilst at it I got a rear diffuser fitted as well.

Also went for some sleek headights I made my self, pics to follow.
best of all he did not mnd me comming in and working on the car during the day.

Cant wait to post some pics, but my camera battery died.


And best of all got the full job for free, just need to pay 90 quid for paint:) I have agreed to make this guys web site, started on it here, hes a smart repair guy http://www.delete-a-dent.com/

Got somthing up and running quick for him now going back to make it a proper site.

The other deal was that I take him to some meets in the future to show his work and maybe he will get some jobs from it.

This guys brill and I cant say a bad word, service and experience is spot on, hes based in Oldham and anyone wanting any dents or anything removed or done give him a call number on the web site.

Pics to follow in the next couple of days.

+1 on both counts :D

Eddie

Thanks for the replies, been waiting ages to get it sprayed the 16 year old paint was staring to look taty, and i luv the bare arsed look now.
Heres some more pics

The lights
Bought  lexan covers from a member here for 50 quid.
Bought a set of ebay angel eye lights second hand for 60 quid, then started choping and fibrglassing then bogging, the result is a sleek set of lights, in each head lamp I used one angel eye lamp and another set of projector lamps I bought for 15 quid of ebay.

so for 125 quid and about 3 hours work on each lamp got a nice set of lamps, much betterer than the ebay ones I had on before (these are going for sale soon now I have finished these)

Also masked out my front turn and side light and colour coded them as well just leaving two circles.

Cant wait to see it buffed and out in the sun shine.

Will be taking it to the next north meet to show her off.


just dont know what to do with my whels now.
