Default It's getting there!
Went around the car today with a light compound then polish and wax. Got some nice red fleck showing now



Paint is ordered for the side skirts so will set about those soon.

Thanks chaps. It's taking shape. I could spend days on little jobs but its getting the time. The nice thing is as Ron said, under it all there is a solid car so it's good fun slowly sorting it. Makes a nice change from the hawk that needed nothing as it was new.

Thanks again Ron for recommending paints4u, god i could spend a fortune on that site. The but will be here tomorrow so can't wait to make a start.

Meguires 2.0 Sam. It's pretty good stuff and very light so virtually impossible to do any damage with it. You are always welcome to borrow it or pop over with the car and use it mate.
