                          I picked the whole set up for a hundred bucks. I couldn't pass it up. Sooner or later, I'm going with Recaro Trophies.

                            I know, I haven't updated anything. I started a new job and I've been working 7 days a week.

                            Anyway, the car was painted brilliantrot single stage. It looked good, but it was never properly finished. There was lots of debris in the paint and lots of orange peel along with overspray from who knows where. I decided to used Meguiars products and my Porter Cable DA on the trunk to do some work:

                              Everything looks awesome man. we have pretty similar cars, which is probably why I like yours so much. I must ask what strut bar you have as all the other ones I've seen don't have that much clearance on our m42 cars. Keep up the great work man!
                              Really need to figure out an imaging site to post photos on here...
