'60 Plate Skoda Octavia VRS, 3 Day Overhaul! With Pics!
Posted: Sat Jan 12, 2013 2:31 am
Well I do a fair few cars but rarely put pics up of other people's car but this one I enjoyed!
It's a freinds taxi and really needed someTLC!
Was looking in a very sorry state! Lost its shine and needed a bit of a tidy.
Was suppose to be a quick wheel refurb but things got a little crazy! (As any enthusiasts car does)
So borrowed some temp wheels
And pics of the wheels! LOOKING REALLY BAD
And after a really good sanding down and trying to get them right this is what we have (dont use filler)
Ready for a lick of paint.....
Suppose to be silver but like I said, will a car nut leave anything standard? Lol
Also painted the inside of the dish and made it nice and SHINEY even though it probably won't be seen much lol
Any way this got us thinking .....
Armed with more black paint this is what happened next lol
Pulled grill out for this one and de masked as soon as paint was still wet (gave a much sharper line )
And wrapped front grill gloss black (taxi and lots of stone chips)
Really should have wrapped bottom of bumper but oh well, look better painte lol
New badge needs sticking on
Next up think he's gonna get coil overs and drop it a little with some very light smoke headlight tint..
Not bad for a quick job.
What do you guys think?
