The sills aren't smooth, you actually have to do a fair bit of work to get them smoothed, its the latest craze on vortex but I prefer the textured skirts...

ohhhhhh we're on a different wavelength bahah. yeah i mean smooth as in not stone-guard. I thought it was stoneguard under there!

I wouldn't bother smoothing that out. It wouldn't take long with some bog but I don't think it looks that bad haha..

If you fancy going back through the thread to see how much I've spent on various maintenance items, that would probably be a good example of a vr6 of 'normal' condition.

Mine's had a lot of maintenance and work to get it where it is. I have spent a lot of money, but it's my hobby and I do it all myself which makes things cheaper.

Righto, another update!

More progress today, mainly prepwork.

-more hi-fill areas wetsanded
-side strips, front and rear bumper strips all sanded and scotch-brited ready for hi-fill tomorrow
-front and rear bottom bumper strips sanded and scotch-brited ready for black paint (and eventually clear) tomorrow
-boot channel, beaver panel and behind the headlights cleaned to the shizz!
-little bit of sanding and line-work on the hatch, but we had hardly any bog so that's still a work in progress
-prepping the badgeless for hi-fill tomorrow

If I can remember anything else I'll write it down
