First of all this morning I got to worka nd the car had flatted off beutifully so I was chuffed to bits after a night of worrying the car was too gloss..
Well today's update is really only one thing but more has occured. Firstly the paintshop have been busy and got the doors, bonnet, and tailgate painted but it was still on bake when i left work so i thought i'd leave them to dry. This however has highlighted just how many parts there are on a saxo to respray as we still have the Door, quarter and wing mouldings as well as both bumpers and a grille still to go!!!!!!!!!!
So now for what i was up to which was something i'd never done before and seemingly nor had anyone else since the 70's lol. Firstly I bribed "the boy" with a Mcd's to sand the roof smooth for me ready for..
Next off it was time to trim up the vinyl we'de sourced for the roof which i did with some scissors i'd stolen and subsiquently ruined from reception lol..
Next, there are some jobs that you need some "old skool" on the case to do it right so Andy who was there first time round and knows how to apply the glue..
On went the vinyl and some serious work to get it triming and smoothing ect which was hard to take pictures of as i needed to be involved.
and so the results..
So there it is and I can't beleive what a difference it's made.
Check back soon for more fun and controversy

Thanks for all the comments i was very worried EVERYONE was gonna hate it lol. Well as it's saturday today we got to spend plenty of time on the car which is handy when the car is in as many peices as it is. Immediately after arriving was to apply some bling.
We then began fitting the car up but there aren't many pictures of that as it was a pretty involved job. Howeveer when we fancied a break from that we took on another vinyl trimming job. The mirror caps...
Very happy indeed with how that came out but then no rest for wicked so back to the fitting up it was.
Essential mod lol.
Owing to there not being any plastic parts painted yet we had to call it a day at this point and resigned ourselves to some good old picture whoring.
Once we'd had a good look at how far we'd got we've come to the conclusion that baring one bit thats already in the pipline thats enough red.
Cheers for looking.

We're now fairly confident that the outside of the car will be ready to appear at FCS which is good because we were gutted when we realised the project valver was gonna miss another FCS. The whole car however will be a much longer job without a fixed finish date really.

Not nagging at all fella, it's great to know that people are interested in what we're doing and so in honour of your enthusiasm i'm dedicating this post to you lol.
This week is a big one on the project as it's the week before FCS and we want the exterior looking done in time for it. This meant lots of my brother sneaking off while at work to get bits done to save time today. This included reattaching all the clip mountings that fell off while stripping the battered kit off as well as deleting the VTS door badges.
Then when saturday came we started off sprucing up the textured bits of the kit whiich involved masking..
flatting..
spraying..
demasking and feeling smug..
Once all that was done it was simply a case of fitting up the lil sax and as we did it started to become clear how mean this car was gonna look which exactly what we were aiming for
Once the outside was fitted up we felt we deserved to have a looka t the car outside and see what we'd achieved and although these pictures by no means do the car justice they give you an idea..
As I say these pictures really don't give you the idea of how in yer face the car looks and it didn't really strike us until we stopped at the off leicence on the way home and saw it in a car park filler with mum wagons and rep mobiles. It certainly stands out lol
Anyway a month on and the sax is safely home just missing a couple of bits that those of you at FCS will most likely see first.

Fair play you have done one hell of a good job on that!
Really love the way its looking
Really love the way its looking
That retro citroen badge is a trick touch now it's on. Will have a gander at FCS.
