Bodywork in 3 steps
That damn fuel pipe is always rusted from what I've heard...when we changed the fuelpump on my car we left the whole fuel pump bracket on the car and changed the pump in-situ. As far as your bumpers are concerned, my personal favourite is when they are painted glossy black with the top painted red (like on the two-tone models..) It looks great on cars that arent two tone as well. Otherwise just paint them black. Dont forget to use some elastic additives in the paint you use on the bumpers otherwise it wont last long, and paint will chip off easily.

Yes, damn fuel pipe… I hope the rubber hose will work, but I’m not very happy with this solution. I let the car run some 30min; I saw no leakage or smell of gasoline.
And for the painting of bumpers, did you mean on something like that?

Little update…
A lot of curvy surfaces to fix, still some job to do before painting.
Next time I’ll send pictures of finished car, I promised.

Paint job has been finished two days ago. It could be better, but for that kind of money (600€) it’s good enough. Now, I have neat and tidy, rust free car.
Hurray!
