brilliant idea!

wait, that's actually pretty silly.. because he doesn't want a yellow car.......

and why is it called wet sanding? shouldn't it be.. mudding??

For a white paint job, use white beach sand :)

shouldnt it be called torture, to think people actually do this for a living !

while you're at it, why not add some toothpaste to the paint? make your car look forever fresh and extra shiny :D

And it won't get plaque. No furry coating!

Interior has come up like new

A better rear than Natalie Bassingthwaite ( not really ! )

Got these from the states. I kind of like them.

Ah, the cause of so much trouble !

Momo Corse Wheel, Dash has come up as new, note GPS/DVD player being installed and you can see FLAV's upgraded ECU in the background.

Havent even started to detail this yet, intercooler and hybrid turbo neatly installed.

New front spoiler

Rear Seats like new

Seats are undergoing restoration/ leather recolouring from the US.

Absolutely magic!! It's like you wound back the clock 20 odd years!! Nice black touches with the interior!

Personally I find the rear decal looking aftermarket! Put the original font decal on it for that authentic look!

Now, can I order one in Gold or Burgandy!! :D :D :D

Where did you get the new front spoiler from?

That front lip should be put in a glass cabinet and put on display.

thats a long story. i bought it years ago brand new in a box still wrapped. I sold it for 100 bucks to a guy from canberra. i bought my donor car from his mate, we made the connection ( only because i saw my old steering wheel i sold to his mate in his garage ) and he was happy to swap for a redzone spoiler i had bought new. I was VERY VERY fortunate.
