Went for a drive the other day was impresed with the car she was ace to drive, this poor bugger probably didnt think so though -So i decided that in preparation for japfest I would start to respray the interior, as you do 3 days before a big show! As you can see it was a bit rank from storing an engine and what not in there over the last couple of years!Cleaned up -Random pic -Drying out -1dt coat of primer -1st coat of white -Second white coat -And finally, my roll cage is for a sun roof model, so it need cutting down and welding etc, so i got some sleeves made up for it - Quote Link to post Share on other sites
