Excellent work 8-)

I don't think I could ever attempt bodywork, spraying paint certainy takes skills I dont have :lol:

Potholes seem the main cause for misaligned wheels, usually it causes toe out but it looks like you might have had toe in on the front there.

I have to spray our 806 hopefully this summer as well. It's taken a beating from Mrs DNJ over the last few years. It's metallic silver though so won't be easy.
I got a 2hp compressor (with 50 litre tank) for £30 off of a friend which needed a repair (now done) and I bought a small touch up spray gun, as it's only a 2hp compressor.

I would quite like to put side steps on it to protect the sides a bit and make it easier to put stuff on the roof rack but no one seems to make them.

Fortunately there is no rust on it at all, just dents.

I'd wetsand the wing using 2000 grit, then polish and it'll shine like new :)

When I first saw the title, I honestly thought it was about putting nitrous oxide onto an 806.

Disappointed! :(
