Looks like a super job so far
You're lucky that all the paint matches so well - often, parts of red cars have been resprayed in different reds...
Where did those wheels come from? I quite like them, but I think they should be a bit brighter/shinier to really go with the rest of your work.

The edge of the back wheel arces is not a great match, where it's had some rust repair, I assume. One of them needs re-doing, but it's only the 'lip' of the arch, so I'm hoping it can be done fairly neatly. I was actually thinking that the plastic arch surrounds would cover any colour problem, but no idea where to get them.
As for the wheels. Yes, I know, they look awful. Spent ages on the body, so didn't even get round to cleaning them. Have no fear, it shall be done. They came with the car (which I was given for free, incidentally
). The make is Mangels. I imagine they've been on it a fair while.
I really appreciate the compliment, coming as it does, from the Grand Master (Southern Hemisphere branch) of Unos :worship:
looks really, really shiny! so i take it you've had it resprayed? and i love that front bumper.. it's actually black, wheras mine is a faded grey colour!
well done for putting some pictures on here, i like to be nosey!

Respray? Are you mad! Would cost me more than the car is worth!
Wanna know the trick for the bumpers, and other black plastic)? Jif cream, and a kitchen scouring pad. The kind that is on those square sponge things. You can spay on so-called restorers, but they'll fade pretty quickly. Nothing beats just scrubbing off all the road crap and polution that sticks to the plastic.
Very clean Uno that
Have you got shares with T-Cut and Turtlewax? :chin:
How could you use language like that! T-Cut indeed! But seriously, that can be dangerous stuff in the wrong hands. I use a detailing clay, followed by a mild cutting polish, then wax. All Meguiars.
So, until I have nice clean wheels to show, I shall bid ye farewell fellow Unoists
