Hmmm.. you could have come round and done my s14 today.

We sanded a massive patch off the rear quarter panel today. A bit of paint was split and had a tiny patch of rust so ground it all out before it got serious!

To say its been a scary day is an understatement.. watching your mate take a grinder to the side of your car is an un-nerving experience!! :sick:

It's looking pretty good now, all fibreglassed up and sprayed :) Just needs a bit more buffing up :)
