Talking ** Project ...Lets sort my car out!***

Right, after owning my 2002 wrx for 3 years now I got to thinking, it's time to sort the thing out . The body work is in not so clever state and it's a little bit of a under powered car for a company car only running at 275bhp .

So where do we start, well my first thoughts were to increase the power but they I changed my mind and decided to sort the outside first.

We now have a guy here "Mike" who is our detailing man - after doing a cracking job on a Stype jag and a 350z I sent him to work on the scoob


I took a few photo's along the way



Some before shots

Default Mike at work


Mike got to work out side in the horrible cold and dark whilst I was making the tea

















[B]
After it had a wash we brought it inside where it was nice and warm where he started drying and I started taking off the old graphics















You can't really see the swirls from these photos due to the light reflecting but was full of them!





Then he got his clay out


then paint correction/polish.































Now all the preparation was done , it was time to start taping up and checking the thinkness off the paint .

















And then the machine come out


















50/50 shot .... sorry for the poor photo







Nice shot of the rear wing finshed







Much more to come ........... keep watching



Chris

Graphics look better than what you did have Chris.

It's still a fugly though. Get the head lights colour coded IMO, and lower it.

p.s. What was the score today?
