Update 10/05
Well I went down to the bodyshop today to drop off my mirrors and door mouldings. They have been busy on the car and have now got it into its first stage off paint. Due to the amount of modifacations they have decided to paint the car in a colour near to what I want first to get an idea of the final outcome. This will then be rubbed down and the final paint put on. Even the guide coat looks spot on. Really looking forward now to seeing it out in the light.
Anyway heres a few pics

Cheers mate, Iv been meaning to Pm you back. Im going to have to leave that car dude, money is very tight atm. I cant commit to buying anything untill iv settled up with the bodyshop. Cheers anyway though it would have been ideal, and a fair price too.
Il know more about a completion time when I get the car back. Which is still a while away yet.

Update 14/05
Had to go down to the bodyshop this afternoon to drop off a new door hing as the old one was f****d. Also needed to talk the final colour and details through with the painter. The final colour looks the nutz really happy with it. He was saying the aiming to have the door shuts andengine bay done by the end of next week. Then they can focus on flatting the car back again to take the final paint. That should hopefully follow the week after.
Whilst I was there I got some more phots as I was able to push the car out of the workshop. They have also sprayed up the bumpers to check the reflections. Tbh all the work I had done myself has come out really well, which is comforting to know. They have only had to sort a few minor glitches out.
Comments Welcome!:)

Lol, no chance, its not that I couldnt do it, if i had the money. This project is moving as fast as the funds come in. I reckon I need about another £5000 to complete, everything how I want it. But saying that, once im at that stage there will still be other mods il want. I know it sounds daft but there are still a few body mods I would like doing but simply cant justify cost for such small things.
