I still think the black one you got turned out alot nicer!!

Thanks for the positive comments guys, although I have to say that most of the really nice looking panels are off Ben's old vr6! I will put some pics up of the older panels tomorrow so you can see, although you can get an idea with the drivers side door in that picture. Will document it more thoroughly tomorrow, then try and buff it back to a better shine. I am a little worried the clear coat is damaged.

Hey darky there is a Vento that is running down the coast thats for sale still i think.... $350 would suit your purpose. Great if you want to steal the front off it and repaint it. I have the details hit me up on here or send me a txt 0425 725 611

pm'd you! I am interested!

As promised here's some pics where you can see the paint difference

and here's an after - spent a couple of hours hand buffing and also gave the plastics the forever black treatment, stage 2 will be power buff.

I am also chasing a drivers door trim if anyone knows where to score one (mines kind of haggard)

This thing will come together that much can promise you - its twice the car it was 2 months ago already!

Good work on bringing it back to life and rejuvenating your love for it. Definitely a cool car, and good to see we have another member now on the Gold Coast.

Can you come along to the Meet and Drive next Wednesday evening at Coomera?

Ben - yep I want it!!

Looking great man!

Keep chipping away at it, it will be all worth it at the end.
