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 -------------------- ![]() |

Cheers!
After the rears turned out so well, I got to work on the front indicators (turn signals). This is a pic of a polished one on top of a untreated one just off the car. ![]() I sanded it back with some 400 grade then 600 and finally with some 800, then polishing with some random polish I found. Did the whole job while drinking a mix of red wine and Pepsi light while watching tv on my pc last Saturday night. ![]() This is the end result: ![]() Its not bad I think, there was some very bad pitting (stone chips or really tough insects), and I couldn't smooth it all away without spending a long time sanding, and I was already quite drunk, so I'm pretty happy with the results, although not with the hangover. -------------------- ![]() |
