Gotta agree with CJ there, why the weird masking?

Went over to see Cap last night, he let us use his workshop to detail the Polo and E30.
 
:unsure: :huh: i think the bodyshop guys have masked the filler bits only.
anyway whole car has been wet and dryed with 800 today and ready to paint tomarrow, hopefully.
cj your more than welcome to come and have a look.

the door strips need fitting and a few other minor bits.
the paint work has come out really good with a deep shine, i'm well chuffed :D
 
excellent restoration man!! i love it, but how come not the bumpers?
 
93 accord, thanks. I have gone for the Factory look one this one that's why I have not painted the bumpers.

Cj, car should be complete by the end of the month. Can't wait.
 
hi, A sad update. I finished the restoration on this a few months ago and it turned excellent. What a beautifull drive it was. I enjoyed driving it for a couple of months untill a bloke from london was really interested in buying it. I really wanted to keep it but thought i have enjoyed it and I have got to many cars so decided to sell it.
So there you go a bit of a wheeler dealer style, give it a new lease of life and happy new owner.
already missing it.
 
Wow! I'd never seen this thread before. Lovely motor man. Shame you sold it, but as it seemed to go to someone very interested in it, hopefully they'll love it and cherish it. Thanks for the update.
