Hello there. First of all sorry for the delay.now onto the project. When I purchased the car it camed with a towbar on it, which the first owner installed on the car. Time was passing and rust started to apear (I think that was a little bonus???), so the project was to get rid of the rust and respray the towbar and also give it a good clean.

It's nice to see the attention to the nooks and crannies of a good detail. We see so many photos of finished details and they look great but to see some of the real "details" is nice like the door shuts, hinge details etc. Nicely done!
