Morning gang, 

 

Been a while since i posted, the reason for this is that i am not in control of the work at the moment, the body shop is! 

i went over on Saturday morning to have a chat about car colour and im very excited again, kinda like a kid on Christmas eve!

Against the advise of everyone else we have chosen a colour which i think will really make this car look spectacular and ive not seen one this colour before. 

 

i got a few photos of the car on the ramp whilst the guys were finishing off blocking the bonnet

that lower rear valance in and rear panel straightened out, apparently the car was much more wobbly underneath than we thought

other side, rear arch in look nice and smooth, also there was a huge hole in the side which has been plated and smoothed in

one of the big problems i had was the wobbly bonnet which looked like it had been stuck in a golf ball storm! getting nice a flat right now

underside of the boot lid being prepped for some black paint, this will be the same on the bonnet underside and inside of the car.

as you can see from the floorpan repairs, it wasnt very stable under there, looking rough but will be tidy after a clean up and some paint.

 

thats all i have for now, hopefully the guys are going to get it in primer by the end of this week and maybe starting to paint it next week! i have been assured it will not be leaving 

their garage until its top notch and ready to roll! got lots of other bits to do before it comes back so its welcome to stay there for as long as possible :)
