This polishing malarkey is hard work once my p1000 grit turns up i can do a final sand and polish and i can take photos fitted http://imgur.com/gallery/ovJ15pE

To get a good result and mirror finish it does take a lot of time and effort, but the finished result is well worth it. You can make life easier by removing as many scratches as possible with wet n' dry, I went down in grades all the way to 1200 grade. Plus using a polishing kit really helps and takes out a lot of the graft, once you have it looking pretty good then finish off with a final hand polish, using clean soft cotton cloths until you get that mirror finish;
And I've yet to try it, but this stuff is supposed to be the mutts nutts too;

Yea that looks pucker mate i dont think i will end up getting it that good it was a mess to begin with and takes alot of patience
-
Also made a little stainless bracket for the temp guage i plan on making one for the otherside with rev guage and shift light off the zeeltronic http://imgur.com/gallery/z7O6FsO
