Nice wheels, 10'' is massive. Don't think you will need spacers!!!!! Good luck mate.

Nice to have a day off work :)

Enjoy , were the holes pre cut?

I have a vague recollection of that situation. Best of luck and remember, it's fibre glass so can be repaired very easily.

Had big plans to get lots done this weekend.....but the weather put paid to that. I'm forced to work outside the garage for a few weeks. I swear ever time I started work, the heavens would open. Despite that.....I'm surprised at the progress I'm making on sanding and filling. I decided to make things complicated for myself by deleting the headlight recess that the covers sit in ( I have the covers also, but I reckon they can sit on top of the bodywork and a chrome strip can run round the outside of them to semi flush them). And definetly looks sharper lines when not using the covers or if they break in the future.

I think the flash line on top of the front wings will be the most difficult to get right, but will get there in the end.

Oh and I got the headlights + bowls + chrome rings for £36 delivered which I think was pretty well done

Made some good progress today after work. Filled the headlight lip flush, and am happy with the sharper lines.

A sneaky peak lol. I had a setback at the weekend, my compressor decided to malfunction (keeps tripping the house electric as soon as I start it). So I had to buy a cheap electric random orbital sander, which is bulky, heavier and less natural to use than air sander, but at least I can crack on

Well baby steps there 1 picture will suffice for now!

You are right it does look good filled, nice and clean look. Does this mean you are not fitting perspex covers?

Got the headlight covers also, they still fit.

Nissan skyline rear lights were an impulse buy at £30, they could work frenched in, I'm not sure about space though

I like the details and depth of these and there are some guides online to making interesting led conversions for them

At least you are using a roller , to spray it would make a right mess up the walls and on the carpet !

Looking good and I like the rear light idea. Interested to see how you manage to integrate them.
