Well have had this car for about a year now...   Looks pretty good in those photos, well it would it was the summer and I'd just got it. 66k on the clock and 3 owners! Nice. Before long all the wheel bearings gave up and the exhaust cracked, and just when i got those fixed the fuel pump, relay and coil decided to die. Then I got rear ended by an uninsured driver. Yay! Which caused the exhaust to brake again. Oh and the drivers door skin came off. Not to worry I have fixed it all up good now! With the aid of filler and a roller   This is apparently a 60mm drop, guess the springs need time to settle...   What do we reckon better than before yes ? |

Nice, having rollered my old 924 I can appreciate that! Also a very handy paint finish for touching in any new panels/scrapes etc.
No more polishing for you then? Suppose you've seen the famous thread showing how you can get a thicker and arguably better finish with rollered paint if you take your time?

Depends on the type of paint your using my man, I'm using some oil based army spec stuff takes 3 days to dry but it's a duck to get right. Mine needs a light sanding and a second coat all over to make it uber flat.
The girlfriend reckons it needs orange bumpers and wheels!
