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 -------------------- |

Since I have no money at the mo, I thought I'd get to work on my lights - see if I could make 'em look a bit better. This one is the rear right tail light. It seems to have had a close bump/scrape. It's all a bit broken. I pulled this broken bit out with tweezers.
So I glued the piece back in with superglue... Bit of sanding... Then a bit of polishing... Bit of black paint... The crack is still visible, but its a huge improvement. Then I got to work on the scrape on the left tail light. This is the scrape: After some polishing: Voila!! Scrape gone! I also sanded off all the numbers and things on the red areas, and polished the whole surface until really shiney. Looks like new!
