And fuming aint the word! My boss yet again damaged more of my stuff hes so careless he dont care about any of my things and just throws them around resulting in a nice dent in the middle of my wing I've spent smoothing and prepping right now im incredibly pissed off but the sooner i get my car done the sooner hell stop damaging my shit! So i blocked it down and put filler in it, leaving it over night and i gotta prime it and block ot all over again!!! The annoying thing is they wernt in the way off anything! And he left it on the floor grrr anyway haha

Well its been a looooong ass day!! i have just come home from work now and have been flat out on my beast all day! and I'm literally exhausted! I have got so much done with the car though and its so mad that this whole past year of prep is done! The only snag i bumped into was i put my first coat of base on my bumpers to find they had both been damaged again :( so i will paint those tomorrow with my spoiler however i have painted everything else! the only real down side is that for some reason the shell and bonnet got covered in dirt nibs yet nothing else really which really pissed me off but nothing a flat and polish cant sort out!


So i suppose i better reveal the colour, what I have gone for is porsche amethyst purple now the reason i chose this colour is because its really dark almost like nissan midnight purple and in the sun it sparkles something beautiful now i know some of you may go yawwwn another purple one but i love and frankly i havnt really seen one in a purple like this, Now the built up pics of the car the workshop lights are really ORANGE and its distorted the colour making it seem more bronze and the car is dusty and dull in the pics, but i have tried to get pics to show you the colour the best i can anyway ill just upload them shall i


But the images really dont do the car justice, espically the workshop ones as its all dusty and the light has changed the colour completely i cant wait ti polish it clean it and get it outside for some real pics

Thanks guys i cant wait too show it off properly :) its nearly all built up now im going into work shortly todays jobs are too

Repair and paint my bumpers that got damaged again!

Paint my spoiler

And start flatting it all for polishing, other wise its all built up it needs the boot wiring up properly and the spoiler cant go in untill the boot glass has been fitted really, but other wise it will be ready to go!
