Japscrap ae86 repaint

[MADMARK]

So after a fairly successful day at Retrostock Mondello chris aka Japscrap pulled some class smoke and driftin for a newly built car on its first day out . Unfortunately hes rate of petrol used was quicker then he expected and the car ran outta of fuel mid drift ,causing him to go to the kitty litter which pulled the front bumper and left wing off the car early in the day.....

then later a tyre popped on the rightside rear cause the fibreglass righthand rear quarter panel serious damage.So chris went on hols friday last and was kinda talkin to miss the retrostock in june with all the work the car needed....so i thought while he was away meself and his friend paul aka DUDE would have a go at tubben the arches to save the bodykit from anymore tyres blowning up..... UNKNOWN TO CHRIS!!! AS A SUPPRIZE? As he stores the car in my garage it was the perfect plan.

So after the carlow rally last week i got home at 2.30am monday morn,went to work,helped oldskooler paint a white mk2 transit engine bay monday eve,got home 12.30 am.
Tuesday eve we pulled the twin cam apart

after a half day in work i got back to the garage at 3pm saturday and Paul arrived again to help and sand.....Chris was due in dublin airport at 5.30pm and i thought he might visit on way home which was worrying me with so much still to do and all by hand as the panels were so curved the sanders were useless.....
