Get some Upol dolphin glaze to go over the top of the final filler. Fills and pin holes, goes on like smooth glass and is beautiful to sand before primer.

But good so far.

Hey Lucas,

Nice to see you getting stuck back in to the lude. Impressive lengths to go to for a make shift garage. 8)

It's not an easy option to take, alot of work in a shaved and tucked engine bay. Have tinkered on the edge whether to do it too. I opted out for a clean and wiring tidy/slight strip out. Your a brave man! Will be worth it when it's donw though. 8)

Yep, well impressive work. + rep to your mate for getting stuck in so much!!! :lol:

Glad to see you bolted and strengthened that gazebo down, I was gonna say I had that exact one set up in the garden behind my cars and when I was taking it down, I'd removed the sides (rest still pegged and guy roped down) and a gust of wind lifted the top half clean off, flipped over the hedge and upside down onto my cars on the drive! :o (I was not amused...)

This kind of work is definitely on my long term 'to do' list for the JDM (when the engine comes out for a build - n/a 'cause although I love turbo's, I already own 6 turbo cars :D). That definitely won't be this year!
