My names Ed, and I live in Barcelona, Spain. I am from the Republic of Ireland. I've been living here for 13 years. In that time I've had a number of cars.
First one I got a year after arrival was a '93 Prelude 2.2 vtec. After that I got a '00 BMW 318ci. I sold that to get back into university. So now I've got this 1996 GT. Its covered in dents and scrapes. Pretty tired looking. I want to make it look like new, improve it where I can and try to keep it as standard as possible. I'll be painting it black, and keeping the wheels as they are, just tarting them up a bit. All of this depends on my finances of course, so it'll be a slow process. Patience will be required. Lots of patience. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This post has been edited by Edser: Jul 21, 2022 - 5:58 PM -------------------- ![]() |

It's been a difficult few days, my arm feels like it's going to fall off and my back screams at me whenever I bend over. Nonetheless I am encouraged the results so far.
I was filling the more noticeable dents all over the car, but I realized I should probably go carefully panel by panel so as no to miss any defects. The longer I stared at a panel, the more dents I could see. It was like as if I had someone following me with a battery in a sock. ![]() ![]() I think the tiredness and the heat took their toll on me. I took the car outside into the 36 degree heat in order to check for odd reflections and strange shadows. I nearly passed out in the heat. I'm just a pale skinned Irish guy, not designed for this weather. ![]() I think I may just buy a second hand front wing as they seem easy to swap. Better that than try and fill and re-shape the old one. It's also lost it's strength due to the inside edge of the wheel arch being folded inwards. ![]() I think the rear looks good. Still needs a lot of work though. I'll have to wait a few weeks before I can continue as I'm going to England for some holidays. I'm tired but itching to do more! -------------------- ![]() |
