kevmk2 Posted April 25, 2007 Report Posted April 25, 2007 Pleased for ya mate,then after the paint,the good bit starts when you start fitting it all up Then you will find all your old bolts and stuff and think,i cant use that and i cant use this cos its rusty of whatever
Tom Posted April 25, 2007 Author Report Posted April 25, 2007 cheers guys. had a quick peek today - they were there working on it at 5 this morning!!! so far they've stoneguarded the front inner arches etc - trust me the coat they've put on it ain't gonna rust again!! and they've flatted the wings, doors, sills and some of the rear 1/4 i may as well've got the whole car done again they couldn't flat the bonnet though cos i forgot to take it but its there now so all is good. real looking forward to the weekend now couple of pics before it went run him over lol

Tom Posted April 25, 2007 Author Report Posted April 25, 2007 yeah i thought that but it seemed to hold ok oh yeah stu - i did manage that filler in the end. it wasn't perfect but 'not bad for a mechanic' as the painter put it
