Re: Sics Consolidated Faded Moderns Thread - 2003 E320 & 2006 Golf Mk5 GTI

I ran one of these 3-4 years ago. Most of these were rubbish even then. That one was at the crossroads where it could be saved or turn to shit.

Re: 1968 MG Midget

Lead is shite. Plastic filler is ideal but that will be a mission to straighten - best left to whoever paints it tbh.
