NightSpirit Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Been a little while, I've been spraying stuff, lightening stuff...and making stuff. Can I just say, spraying a car...and doing it carefully takes a LONG time without a suitable garage.Apologies for big picsThese were stock skirts...weighed too much so I 'cut them'Poly carb sheet, £15 a sheet instead of £65 for a precut one (piece of piss)De badged door...and while I was at it, I ditched the lock and smoothed it overVoila...sexLighter window bits, no lock, no holding up the glass (tiger seal) nice.

Next time I see you and it's daylight, we'll get cracking.Hehe, I know man I think you've tempted me to buy a spare set of doors and just use cut out Polycarbonate sheets like you have rather than the preformed ones...just as a "stand-in" set till I can afford to some C/F Sheets to rivet in as doorcards and get the PC windows with sliders made up...I'm such a tart Quote Link to post Share on other sites
