eHere are some updates from bodyshop. Guys are putting on the filler, sanding, putting some more, sanding some more, etc etc etc. Biggest issues are the rear fenders and bonnet, since they are quite wobbly. As you can see on my volvo is almost the same problem at the back since it had some accidents in the past... They're looking good now, almost perfect... almost....

Thats why I choose to use that chrome system my friend provides. Since the ordinary spry doesnt gives the same appearence. You can check some of his jobs on this facebook link. Ö= www.facebook.com/#!/sdt.hroma?fref=ts Shame he is not in the UK That makes 2 of us but in the near future I'll be starting to make some poly bushes and then I'll give it a go on chroming...

Just pop the windows back in and drive away! When I first saw the result of the black filler primer I thought the same...

Usually it can be fixed with duct tape... hehehhe Just kidding... a piece of wire should do the trick as a temporary fix...

So time for some piccies.... These are the tail lights that came on the car. Nice state of rubbishness... In here they are already cleaned and polished up. On the left is a Cibbie one and on the right a Hella. Can you tell the diference?!?!?! Here are the tools used to do the job of polishing... Here are the ones I firstly bought of ebay, not new but way better than mine. Both are Hella's and the left one is just cleaned and the right one is cleaned and polished up. Here the other way around... Here all done... at least for now... In this photo you can see that the Cibbie one is ''chrome'' free doo to the degreasser that reacted with it by removing it... Since that were shoot I thought '' Maybe with that can of chrome paint it would become nicely chromed...''' So I masked that one and gave it a coat of ''chrome''... As you can see here it looks nice... But after I turn it over this is what I get... Not what I was expecting... Not even close ... Now here is that center pilar trim I was talking about... Here is the next parts to be attacked with the polishing machine after the hammer as done it's job... Now comments are welcome...

just flicked thru whole build!! Looks amazing! Subscribed What's going on with the engine? Turbo carbs? Good work mate Thanks... It does not look that well but it will when it's done... The engine will stay stock at least for now that's the idea since they are very hard to find and I don't like the idea of a ruined B30...
