never thought I'd end up using silver leaf in a car restoration....that's usually just for restoring picture frames right?

I think there was a chrome wrapped Lambo at the Autosport show the other week - didnt really look at it as I whizzed past to see the old 70s and 80s motors at the back! But a silver wrapped mini would be subject for debate on here!!!

Isn't decoupage the old fashioned word for sticker-bombing? ;)

Isnt that about the same for every job on a Mini? Takes twice as long as it should - but I used to put that down to just me!

Lets chalk it up to tight spaces and operator error.

I almost bought a shell last night for 20e, my wife didn't look happy so I retracted my bid. Shell looked great too, just no paperwork

Note to self; When removing a fog-light from the bracket, hold onto it, not just the bolt. Otherwise it'll fall & smash on the floor...
