Re: Repaint, 2nd time round, 73T

Re: Another Targa sarga

Thanks everyone for your comments :cheers: Another difficult panel to let in without making it looking obvious, lots of flanges that have to be spot on & butt joints with zero gaps, there was a big hole roughly cut for aftermarket aircon.. https://i.postimg.cc/kX8dbwzK/footwell_hole.jpg https://...

Well done mate
