Went out to Stews Bodyshop tonight to see the car and talk about some repairs, very few areas that need attention, any surface blisters were taken back to bare metal and will be treated accordingly!

Some more progress photos.......

Cheers dude, aye that noise too, only did about 300miles in it before it went in for work! Lol

just back from the Bodyshop discussing more plans for this! We have now decided to treat inside the arches with a paint finish and also remove beams, wishbones etc and get them powdercoted prior to refitting, this then leads to rear calliper painting to match front upgraded brembos and new colour coded hoses too! Here are a few snaps from today..........

Og wings, arches rolled, indicators deleted and sealed.........

Looking good Rich, you don't hang about getting the job done!

Cheers dude, I like things moving on but sometimes relying on others slows things up it's all part of the fun I suppose, big Stew is getting right in about it now!!!!! :-)

So today was the day for big Stew to lay on the fresh mulberry paint, here is some photos he sent earlier!

As I was wanting my side indicators deleted I managed to get US bumpers cut outs for the indicators to be relocated here, front plate has been smoothed too!.....
