Good shooting dude, Fab-tastic.
*puts hand up*
got a question though.
Whats going on with the rear clusters?
have you simply sprayed the ind. lenses red?
If so, why?
Dont get it.
Am I missing something?
Do tell.

Yeh its a tint spray, personally i'm not a fan of smoked lights so an all red rear cluster looks cleaner. My grey car is the same. With a yellow LED bulb it shines amber ab perfect.

Ah right man, cool.
Does look good an all. youre completely right.
Couldnt work out how youd keep amber indiacation through the spray, but if its tint spray then I suppose the principles exactly the same as smoke tint.
Do fifty and sell em man.
Call it Adstyle Rear Clusters.
This time next year, millionaire.

Great work there mate. You could almost title your thread "how to sort the typically rusty bits on a Volvo 300".

Very impressive work as always
Just one question - where the section was cut out from the A pilar, what was the dark inside. Was the inside of the pillar very corroded, or is it anti rust stuff. Very hard to tell from the pic

Was surface corrosion, that was treated then painted then covered over.
