Decided its time to sort my sport out due to a few scabs and trolley dents all over.ripped all the kit off apart from the rear bumper.All was good under the kit until I got to taking the sills off.Both front wing were badly rotten at the bottoms so I purchased two new wings.
Got most of the filling sorted now just need to take it to work and put some high build primer on.I painted the two new wings today and the fron bumper
Here are some pics of progress so far,but my missus goes into hospital on saturday to have our baby so dont know when I will get back onto it
the pics anyhow

Enjoy people

Nice work! 8) I think my Sport needs a couple of front wings also (I know the n/s one is shot at any rate).

Is it hard to take the kit off?

the kit is easy but you have to be carefull if you dont want to buy any new clips for it,I think they are around £50 a side if I can remember,I have been lucky so far I was expecting to do loads of welding after taking the kit off but it was mint underneath,
/the wings cost me £65 for the pair,but thats trade price not sure how much for joe public,

It should look good for a long while its got a good 5 coats of red 2k and a good lashing af glasurit lacquer so the red doesnt fade with the sun.It has taken all my spare time and weekends for the past 3 months but its worth it
