UPDATE

right paint prep pics:











Paint pics, cars only colour coded atm but the bump strips will be goin gloss black asap:





















BUT as you all know by now with me the good news come with some considerably bad news...

while the bits were being painted i installed the new rad and filled it up, only to see all the fluid pissing out of the engine. so i jacked the car up and got underneath to find this:



not good, big crack in the block and a really pissed of me. but ive come this far and im not giving up now. so straight on the blower and managed to sort myself out a new engine (1.4 still) and it should be here by the weekend. so me, my mate and my dad will have the new one in in no time. and then its off to be raised and the cyclones are goin black and then goin on the car.

let me know what you think so far...
