Just to try and add a more traditional look to them.

Its ok mate, I don't mind at all happy to help.

The rubbers seals I found by chance in my friends garage. But before then I was looking around and found this site...

http://www.sealsdirect.co.uk/bbCMS/s...DepartmentId=3

That should help mate. I guess you could find them in and DIY shop too.

Hope this helps

Thank you mate.

Funny you should say that, I was going buy some new wheels the day I bumped it. Hate the wheels that are on her, they really annoy me.

On the plus side I have everything for rebuilding the front end now so, pictures will be up soon. Will probably start on her tomorrow.

Right then guys just a little update.

Work started last night, managed to get the bonnet, vents, front grill and the front bumper flatted and they are now ready to be primered. The car itself is still at my house and will be going to the garage this weekend or next, and will be striped and put back together the same day. (I hope but may have to wait for my headlights)

Yesterday day I was at work until 5.30 went straight the garage until 11.00. I will be doing that again tonight.

I will post some photos up later once I get back from the garage.

Ok just a little update for you. Taken the spoiler off for its rub down and repair, I actually quite like it with no spoiler but it will go back on as I prefer it with one.




Prep time. Here its been rubbed down...



Filling in the crack...




Just got to rub the down and shape it right then everything is ready for painting.

Will keep you posted.

Well certainly putting the hours in, last night I finished work at 5.30 went straight to the garage and left there at 12.00. Painting began last night between helping to fit new brakes to an old golf and fixing the head lights on a corsa.

Anyway back to the main car ha ha, She will be going to the garage tonight where I will be stripping her and beginning to rebuild. I will be picture happy (maybe) so you'l see the progress.
