You don't have to ever worry about your postings going un-noticed at least by me. I think the somewhat low number of members here keeps the high amount of comments down.. But i can assure you they are saying good job cuz that is some serious rust busting man.

I love pictures as it tells a story so much better than text ever could.

Thanks guys! I do have some sneak previews for you:







Love it Color is awesome, painting is lovely and the car looks like brandnew! Can't wait to start with mounting back all the parts again

Hi guys,

So, unfortunatelly i couldn't find a new or good front air-dam/spoiler so i had to restore it. The old one was riped and broken. They have tryed to restore it before with some filler and after that they just put on a lot of underbodycoating on. Looked really ugly:



So after a lot of cleaning and sanding etc the spoiler was ready for some 2K glue. Managed to put on a tie-wrap to get the two parts attached to eachother. Left on the tie-wrap and putted on some black kit. Front has been repaired with filler. After that some special texture-coating to give it a original look. It's still a bit wet, when it is dry the coat will be a bit more gray and flat, not as shiny as now. Allmost like new



Mirrors painted, looks lovely!




And just one extra shot, because she is so beatiful



cheers,

Rens
