the car was masked all around but i forgot to take a picture,
thanks to my uncle jay who can be seen pictured sanding and spraying, he did a fantastic job of fixing the quarter and spraying the car (hes been a spray painter since he was my age nearly 18 years)
thanks to quagmire for trying to repair the quarter...
thanks to my mate scotty and albie who helped with the build up until and the future help
and big thanks to my girly Bekkah who has put up with me chucking the shits at the car and working on the car and letting me spend money on the car not that she controls my money yet lol

Josh don't buy the cheap pressed metal impeller type water pumps they are not as good (efficient) as the cast ones.
