Well since it has stopped bloody raining, I have been able to get some more work done on it.
I made a spray booth out the front of my garage by using tarps hehe.
Car is now primered, little dents fixed, and all holes filled. Ill get pics up tonight. Should be able to get the first colour coat down this weekend.

^^^^ MIght of, hehe sorry wont be any more pics of the bar till its finished.
Sorry bout the pics they were taken at night.
If you tillt your screen you can see my spray booth lol
Slowly stripping down the car, removing as much as possible.
Those f**ken stickers
Then first hit of primer, then fix all little dents, then re sand.
Leasons Learnt:
1) Stickers are a f$&ken %^&* and should only ever be put on glass.
2) Spot putty is awesome.

You tease on the front bar ...
Looks good .. Love the tent ... Hehehehe ...
I am trying to remember my sprayig days .. Parts of the car (like doors and that) should be sprayed with colour as they would lay on the car .. So hanging down ... But the bonnet and boot is sprayed flat, not hanging yeah ...
I have seen paint jobs where the doors have been sprayed laying flat, and with the same paint out of the tin from spraying the bonnet flat... It looked like a different colour .. Just did not look right .. I was taught that this had something to do with gravity, and what it does to the paint pigments...
Ohhh .. ans WTF is the silver Nissan box

Yeah will paint the body, then move it out and set up saw stools to lay the bonnet and boot lid flat.
SIlver nissan tray???
Oh do you mean my knee seat? Its a cushion for when kneeling or sitting down from my nissan days. After removing the stickers, i can tell you its worth its weight in gold.

Hey Simon
Probably too late now but heres a front bar design idea
to me looks like the Kaze front bar but with those vents removed, i reckon it looks pretty good

Ok repaired my spray booth and have got a littled more completed.
It so hard when I only get one day a week to work on it.
She is EVIL
Ok I lied about the front bar, ill show you some more pics
Here is one of the many cracks

After some Glass
Cut those gastly side pods out

Then the whole centre section

It might be a bit hard to see in this pic, but what im going to do is mount the top section of the bar further back than the lip, to give it that more aggressive look.

Some more foam, god I love this sh*t.
