Great work Gary! Nothing like a deadline to spur things on a bit. I had a similar situation with my touring....but the painted bits were still tacky and only half of them arrived!

I'll ignore the young upstart above, much like I have done most of his life.
Well its was a mental Saturday that started at 7am and finished at 03:30hrs on the Sunday morning. Why the long hours I hear you ask. Well I will tell you, so that I could have the car ready for the show and shine competition that the car club were running. I got up at 07:30hrs so that i could put the rear spoiler on that had just been painted not 5 hours ago. I had to put the front grills on rear M3 badge airducts and front towing eye covers. Enough of my rantings. It is fianlly finished. Here are a few pics when I washed it this evening all put together. |

Its getting nearer the finishing line.
The bonnets painted Along with the sunroof lid Then the bumpers were prepped on Friday Then it was a late one on Saturday to paint them, but they look the mutts muts now Front and rear bumpers primed Then painted And finally the obligitory four coats of laquer And then a six our shift fitting the wings, door, sunroof and bumpers and adjusting them up. It's beginning to look like a car once again Edited by gary |

Cheers guys. I have to admit to a wee bit of sex pee when I put another bit on the car.
It's going to be tight for the 1st. I ahve to MOT the car and tax it for the 1st as well. Hopefully it will be ready but I'm not 100% sure if it will |

No thats my twin.
ACS The colour you see there, when put against the rest of the car was too light, so we are going for Jet black, which is the body colour with either a matt or silk laquer. |
