What stage is the car at Steven,Sent you a pm with some info

[mad-mini]

hey wel the car is painted and rollin with new wiring loom in and the engine painted ready to drop.Lights front and back in.

I spent about 6 hours polishing the car but the paint has reacted to something on the roof and door pillers so the car is striped down again and the car is goin to get a full nut and bolt restoration done.

I have not recived a pm yet??
