It's going to look peachy when it's all built back up then you'll start worrying about stone chips,

guess who's back?

No, not shady.. Shiny's back.. so what started as little front end job ended in pretty a full respray and sorting out those shitty (badly rolled) arches. it looks superb.

Not sure whether to replace the wing badges, they are currently in the passenger footwell... Car now needs some protection for the winter months.. this is as collected so needs polish, wax, carlack and some ACF50 underneath too...

See you've made a rod for your own back because now you have to care for it / about it. Where it gets parked, how it gets stored, where it gets stored etc etc and all the irritations that come with having something pristine.

Looks lovely btw

I know..

The thing is, once the entire front end is being done the rest would have looked shite left as is and it wasn't ridiculous to just keep going in the end

I drove it out today to try and get a new battery (failed as ECP was rammed and has a broken till) and it was def worth it... Fantastic
