my s12
 

i recently bought a replacement rear hatch and bonnet for the s12 cos the hatch was rusted and the spoiler had been eaten by the monkeys, and the bonnet was delaminating.

unfortunatly the paint on both the new bits had oxidised very much so, and yesterday i decided it was time to t-cut.

here are some pics of my efforts
