Hmmm, not really keen on the Yellow/Red theme. Reminds me of a trifle. Looks like your doing a good job though.

good stuff bud, when ye fit the sideskirts where they meet the bottom of the wings try and get something there to stop chafage as when skirts are fitted that is another popular point. IMO the zr's aint bad for rust tbh just bits where there is constant rubbing that it starts....or round the boot lock

who do you use for your bodyworks?

*edit* You could be as well getting they wings redone bud as that leading edge is very common for rusting and most others will be they same, if rubbed back and treated well with a quality paint job they should be fine
