    Well what a fantastic weekend we had with Colin,James and the Flipped Out Customs crowd, had to do a bit of cleaning as the weather and being parked outside work had made a right mess of the car, so saturday morning I whizzed over the car with the quick detailer, so it was at least clean, then stupidly I tried a little Meg's ultimate compound on the rear wing..... oh crap.....the rest of the car now looks bad, so then had to finish what I started. Popped to the local town to get supplies for later and on return decided to try my new tube of Meg's dark wax, so set about the bonnet, to comments that I'm starting to take after Wobbley (it will never be that clean .. lol). The bonnet looked ok when Jayne then said " why not try a some on the rear quarter, so off we go and wow, how good does that look, now I have to do the rest to the same standard......think it was worth it

    A few more mods


    Now back into the garage for the rest of the current plan mods that time didn't allow to happen.

    Here a few shots whilst do the last mods and some of the horrors found along the way

    A bit bare, but more to change yet
