No major updates on this really, for my cooler piping done, bought a pair of 16x8 +22 formula mesh for real cheap from a dude round the corner from my place.

Then taxback happened and stupidly I bought another pair of reverse mesh in 16x9 +25 and a bride zeta 3 to match my other one I Already had. both at good prices but money I didn't need to spend.

Zeta will be here in 2 weeks meshies in 2 months.

Guess I got no choice but to finish sanding and prepping the car for paint now and finishing the bay haha

Thanks man, nathan from fabulous fab is king of stainless piping. And yeah thats probably a hondalyf thing. Was planning on doing the whole car midnight purple but not keen on trying to spray a metallic colour for my first so just gonna try a gloss black.

Then got told we had to take 3 weeks holidays over christmas, so that sealed the deal for me to attempt my first spray job.

But before i could start i decided I'd order a guard roller off ebay being cheap at 80 bucks and give it a crack, wanting to do it before i sprayed so i avoided cracking of paint.

So guard started like this

And i ended up getting very carried away and went from rolling, to mashing my inner guard skin out with a hammer and just cranking on the roller to pump the guards. Not perfect, maybe borderline beginning to be verandah guards, but i'm happy with them. If i had bigger lower offset wheels i probably would of tried the magazine trick but f**k it. YOLO and shit.

Will get a shot up of my spray booth *cough* wedding marquee* and the car stripped back tomorrow,

So far the boot lid is off, rear lights and garnish and boot trims are out and the chrome surround from the rear window is out. Shall finish taking the chrome garnishs and door seals off tomorrow, then mask it up, fix the few rust spots below rear window and i'll start sanding this muuf**ka back in prep for primer.
