How I got it

Getting it ready for daily duties (was my daily when I started my apprenticeship)

Quick tidy up

Parked up with dads

[HQvanner]

My paintjob v1 in progress

Bit more done

How V1 paintjob came out (wasn’t happy with it, both paint and not being hq front)

Eyelids

No longer a daily driver so fix the rust properly

More rust repairs

Now it looks like a hq again

202 just didn’t cut it so out it came

Tried and failed at matte paint

The 308 just wasn’t quick enough either so I stepped it up a notch
