    Yeah the paint is like glass no orange peel or overspray anywhere and it was only away for just over 2 weeks. Feels odd knowing its 100% rust free tho,i will update the thread as i carry on to build her back up.

    No about 80% but looks wise will try to be apart from exhaust an alloys both of which may change in the future.

    Im not too sure mate coz im havin all the plastics an kit sprayed as part of the respray price. My dad spent hours sorting the front bumper out fibreglassing and filling sections to get it back from almost fit for the bin.With yours bein just stonechipped would think max 200 for a top notch job.

    what did you do with your rear GT Turbo badge, did you have it painted or was it an original mint one ?

    Re: Back from Respray

    Thanks for the comments guys. Picture doesnt really show it that good really.
    Last few bits turned up today, 4 x 195/45 Falkens ZE912s to get swapped over get rid of the nasty 50s. Got some more parts from mike due tomorrow all the little annoying bits.
    Bumpers are all made up an ready to go on, same with skirts an spoiler. Will update with pics next week.
