was speaking to a bufty friend the other day and i mentioned i was not happy with the paint finish. its a track car way over a show car but he said you've gotta machine polisher....use it. but wet sand the roof (main bit i aint happy with) then compound and polish it.
well i did a section, then the roof. pics do not do it any justice but it looked like it was painted with a tar brush before, no shine etc at all....
after one pass
and another
and another then a polish
its not perfect but lots better and its the first time im ever wet sanded and used a rotary polisher
rest of cars gonna take ages, but doubt ill be sanding it lol

its got a misfire at 3krpm, but only when hard accelerating..........played with timing etc, no change so gonna swap for a larger vacuum pipe and play with the carb, see what happens. really wanna book a track session but till its almost running sweet dont wanna commit...again lol
my 2 year old daughter keeps asking to go for a drive, think i need to source a passenger seat belt, kids seats and 4 point harnesses dont work well lol
