No! Not white, I hate cleaning my white daily driver... so unrewarding!

Still, I'm sure you'll do a cracking job of it - and you'll certainly stand out

Screen guy came about 11

Then made a start about half one,

This resulted lots if bits





And not so much on the car





The car itself is very clean, but it had a few wibbles, these ain't dents but small marks in the panel. So blocked them down and primed then along with the front bumper



That's how it stand now,

One pants bit. Both captive nuts in the n/s/r handle are spinning!!!

Big thanks to Chris for helping.

Tomorrow will see some colour

Got all four doors, both bumpers, scoop and roof vent painted.









The cars now fully stripped and prepped.

Stolen pics off Chris

Loving it Jake. I've always liked the subtle coloured Sped D, but white newage cars have always been the best looking cars IMO. Take the bugeye, get a white one and the look the nuts for a car that's got a stigma for being a ugly duckling, then the Blobeye, nothing more special than a white Spec C. Your hawk will look the nuts bud
