MR-2 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Most of people never care how car looks under, I rate very high people who do hardest places first. So much rusty shits, made of putty and mesh, nice wheels and shiny paints I would never sleep well if I desided to paint car berofe other places, it's called perfectionism, i'm sick My MR2 underbody, same style gona be my P7 before topcoat and sanblasted/powercoated parts.Hard times coming...
