As many of you know I have been working on the car over the winter and decided to to the whole widearch, sills, tailgate skin and so on. The plan was to do everything including fitting, painting and making the wheel spacers etc by myself. Not forgetting the full colour change from red to white. Not far away now so here is a couple of pics from the start and where it is today. Ive made loads of photos on the way so i might do a guide sometime to fitting the various parts incase any of you feel brave and want to have a go yourselves.

Red is dull, dark, dingy and common.

White is bright and striking.

Duffer said so it must be true :tongue:
