Yep the ace does make it a bit tight but my mate just dissconnected the drive shaft to get better access, took him an hour or so. Took me a week of spare time to sort his cars paint work

Nice job, I still believe there is a place for quality colour coded trim. My sons car gets regular thumbs up for matching in all the sad moulded black plastic. We’ll done.

Fitted the grill, it's growing on me so I will spray the rear door lower trim as well.

Doing oily bits is very rewarding and often necessary but every once in a while it’s great to add something that the original designer would have done especially where it takes some years off the appearance of an awesome ride. Again, we’ll done Dave.

It's been a labour of love all the mechanics are done it runs well the suspension and steering are now all good I even sorted the lpg. I promised my self to sort out the paint last I'm preparing my self for a roof respray it's been 30 years since I sprayed cars so practising on the smaller bits is good to relearn
