hahha

tweek the nipples tweak the nipples!

think i scared that old lady though! not amused at all,

wicked meetig ya fella

hope you had a good cpl of days down here in the life of me

the guy just rang back and bought the pug

Dude I had a brilliant time. Asides from the fact that my car looks sexy now, it was great to meet you and calder and mike. The image of the old fat man washing his car, unawares of the four of us sitting in the gti about to slap his arse will forever remain in my memory, for better or worse. hahahaha. Everyone else must be wondering wtf.

Ballam, the offer of me 'experimenting' on your arches is always there.. haha. They can only get better though.

RIGHT. here are the much awaited photos. Prepare yourself for a LONG post.


So as you all know, this is how they started out, shit stains down the side of my lovely white paintwork:

It wasn't long before quickdraw had me getting all the paint off, doing the rough stuff so he could get in there.

Once I'd cleaned it out, we shoved on some rust eater.

After wire brushing down what the rust eater didn't eat, and then spraying on some anti-rust primer, quickdraw shoved on some filler stuff to even out the arches and restore their shape where the rust had raped them.

This picture speaks for itself really:

While we waited for the filler to dry, we cleaned up the pug for sale. I washed the outside, while quickdraw bummed around with the hoover inside (come to your own conclusions).

I sort of forgot to take pictures at this point, but by the time I remembered, the primer was on and it was looking sexy already.

In the meantime, quickdraw's obession with hello kitty had infected my missus:

The next morning, and the arches were looking glorious:

It soon got dark after the Man utd vs Man city game, and so Wayne had to work with the gti's headlights pointing at the area.

AND HERE IS THE RESULT. This morning before i went to work I took some pictures, and despite 'arctic white' paint resembling piss more than white, with a bit of mixing quickdraw managed to get a good match. Bear in mind the paintwork hasn't even been rubbed to make it shine yet, as we didn't have time last night. And yes, we probably should have covered the wheels before starting. hahaha.

Get them bloody rims sorted

ahahha

they are welll foobared!

and omg to the mid work pic! haha

i look like something mongtarded haha

**regarding the slapping arses thing, it was all hass' idea, although i did have to pull over cos i was crying with laughter sooooooooooo much, that girl physically jumped like 3 foot in th eair aswell!

LEG-end

Excuse me. I had nothing to do with the arse slapping, I was just pissing myself in the back. Don't try and pin this one on me

Yeah those rims are completely humped. I think i'm just going to wait till the tyres are completely shagged, then buy a set of GTi rims off someone on here. But it'll prob be about 3 or 4 months till I can justify that, since the tyres are in pretty good nick (or at least they were, till you decided to spray them white ).

Mongtarded? I think this is the bit just after you were tweaking your nipples at passing bus drivers.

Just to update - my front nearside arch has now started rusting :| (we repaired the two rear arches)

hahaahahhahaha fuck sake.

Anyway, it's only just started and i've slapped a lot of rust inhibitor on it so that it'll at least slow down till i can be arsed getting round to sorting it out. But it just goes to show, IT'LL GET YOU IN THE END NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO.
