That looks the dogs danglies!
Did you do all the paint work yourself? Having seen both you and Pete do really good "home" paint jobs I'm starting to wonder if I could actually be taught the right technique.
I'm guessing not using rattles cans and alot of patience is a good start??? ;)

95% of the hard work and to get a good finish is all in the prep work and keeping things clean and tidy I know my painting skills will never be as good as a professional service but its more than passable and at the end of the day as long as your happy with it who care most of all the self achievement of doing it is best of all.
One thing to note if you do need advice notosh is the man to talk to he's been outstanding with the advice and help

Cheers, turned out better than expected, had been painted previous to my ownership and really was awful, tops of the doors were white and also had micro blistering down the whole side.

Thanks for all the positive comments, wasn't sure if it was worth spending the money it on really but glad I did now :).
Sorting out the front brakes next weekend, fitting two new cailpers, 302 discs, new flexi's Volvo pads and fluid change all round.
The rig.
Not many pictures of the bad paint.
Rear bumper mounts and bolts rotten, originals cut off, new oem ones fitted.
Had to swap out the insides as new doors had wind ups.
Stripped off some bits myself.
