Won't take long for the headlights to go hazy again. The overall condition of the headlights after restoration may vary. On mine if you look closely there's some very light very small cracks / pig tails and I think some small dots probably due to improper clear coat spraying but honestly it looks good from just standing up looking down at it. Thanks mate, I'll suggest it to him when hes doing it to apply some clear coating afterwards, I think your headlights look like brand new, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zain611 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Left side of the car looks really shiny now after compounding, polishing, sealed and waxed. Scratch is non existant but can be seen very faintly at the right lighting angle up close. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as it looks good from the kerb side when cruising through the streets at 10mph that's all that matters mate 😅 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really will miss this car if I'm forced to sell it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes me back to waiting for hours in cold, dark forests to be lashed by flying gravel!😀 Thanks. This one was a tricky one to do because of the stripe decals. The wheel arches had 2 separate ones. Also, the cigarette brand wording was in 2 parts to get round the tobacco advertising laws. I'm glad it brings back memories for you. I've never been to a rally but do enjoy playing rally games on the Xbox or PlayStation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those bulbs on their website is £25 but £31 as they add tax and delivery on top. I'm going to get some money back for the led brake lights I bought from them as one is going faulty so add that towards the bill. The guy said also they do supply warranty on their eBay store so why not get it there. Win win 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you buy it or just stand in the shop reading it? I'm surprised magazines are still sold since the rise of the internet tbh. The local retro car group had a visit from Practical Classics last week as part of a retro group competition. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
