See the problem?

And finished!
I sanded back the putty after it dried. You cant see it now its all smooth as a babys bottom
Just so you guys know what Andrew is working with ............
This is my spoiler before Andrew started repairs:
And this hos work so far:
Amazing
Found some older pics of my car before it was mine:
And here it is out front of my work today. Looks kinda cool without the front spoiler....... Sorta like a Starion
Some more of how trashy and stupid everything was when i got it (wtf is wrong with some people?)
And as if i dont have enough on my plate! More repairs to my other toy......... :evil:
Man it certainly looks like you've been busy, that exhaust came up well too! I didn't know you could get magnetic oil filters, I may have to find one for my car! LOL keep up the good work, that was a great read with all the pics :) haha

My Blog -
No worries man, Yer i pretty much just copied my thread from "the other" forum minus the replies. Hence the loads of pics! And Glitterbarn have the filters for $20
Cool as, sounds like a wise investment! :)
Progress:
Just a little more to finish it off.
_______________________________
This thing will decimate all.......once I've put another fifteen grand into it!
that is one clean job on that spliter now you have to make shour you dont bugger it again
That will be James's problem not mine..........I've used quite a bit of glass and resin........It shouldnt break!
test fitment today over a few beers :
Nearly there.......
That looks hot!!! I have one of those skirts for my car now, and side skirts, but yours looks in betterer condition now, mines got some cracks! LOL They're pretty thinly manufactured! 
They are thin..........but once its finished believe me some areas will be over 6mm thick!..............no way in hell will it break!
Update
Nearly finished just need to finish off this area:
Then give it a wet rub and another coat of white, James I am even happy with the style lines, mainly due to the slight "bump" it used to have on the bottom.
It's nearly back from the dead!
James,
Your spoiler is finished. 
nice glassin work there.. i would ove screamed if i found that cancer around window on mine.. but she is a good lookin car.. gotta like white on any car..
nice car mate looks like a bit of effort has been put into it!

Hi James,
I am sure you will love your Cordia.My car is a Jap import in New Zealand with the small turbo,small injectors and I just love driving it.
I must confess parts are a problem.Especially fuel injectors.But I have had "old thunder" for over 12 years and hope to be able to keep it on the road for a good while,yet.
How many kays has your car done?
cheers
Wayne
