Hmmm, I think it may stay, but sadly will end up not looking like that.
However, in the interests of cynicism I'll take the second option. :roll:

3 to 6 months, he will keep looking at the car and thinking am I doing the right thing, have I got the know how and energy to do this long term job and bring it in as a quality job. Then he will say to himself 'Mikey' was correct, can't do it but at least I've got a garage out of it. :evil: :thumbsup: :D

18 votes so far and not one for the duration. Shows how much faith you lot have in my abilities, eh?

I have to do it now as I paid a deposit on the (very expensive) body kit and interior today. :(

I will admit it scares me shiteless. I look at this little BMW and can't help thinking to myself (but don't tell the wife) "how the hell can I make that look like I want it to?". I have built houses from scratch on my own but this is a completely new area for me.

I need encouragement....but I ain't gonna get that here am I? :lol:
