I got rid of the front markers too and the other side is the same i was just too lazy to take more pics.

P.S. Sanding for a few hrs is a real workout!

Power sanders are amazing tools. I have shaved the rear buper and got rid of the indentions, It looks awsome. But i got alot more work to do before i primer it tho.

tri-star, did you just bondo this area up and smooth it or did you do metal work (cut/weld etc)?

[Tri-Star]

both-i didnt weld though i used "Well-Bond adheasive" its a 2 part epoxy like stuff thats supposed to harden better then a weld.

[Fun_in_my_z]

I welded metal strips in untill it was as close as i could get, the i used some filler to finish

The workmanship looks awesome. Great to see that it was done correctly. I personally don't think I care for the look, but that's just me. It's your car and if you like it that's all that matters.

Thanks Arne, I realise its not everyones 'thing' but I had a vision and I'm on a mission to make it real..... Just hope when it's finished it stops raining so I can enjoy the car

wow thats really nice are those skyline lights?

[netpreference]

Nope but they do look kinda close to them... they are not from a specific car, I stumbled across a supplier here in the UK who specialises in all types of custom lights etc and they were just what I was looking for! :laugh:
