Right it has been dark and raining this evening and I wasnt in the mood to go on work on the car. Neighbours have complained that the estate is bringing the neighbourhood down etc. Because raceestate wasnt the correct answer... Anyway I have promised that it will be gone before the end of June so Ill have to properly strip that after FCS.
In actual progress related news because i couldnt be arsed to get to the car and do brakes I decided to crack on with the wheels. Polishing them is taking too long... either I could come to FCS with some lovely wheels... or I could come with a 306... so Ive made a start spraying the centres and Ill give the rims a sand and polish using the pikey version of having the wheel on the car.
Anyway... primer on...

few coats of paint on...

and between coats I worked on cutting the mirror vinyl and fondmetal text for the set of replacement 3D printed centre caps I designed and made.

Got to wait for the paint to dry on those and then should be able to put them together tomorrow. Ill also be lacquering the wheels. They arent perfect but theyre a damn sight better than they were!
