Well today i went to the bodyshop to have a look at the progress of my car.
Just got home and to be perfectly honest im not in the best of moods
its been there a week and its hardly been touched... and to top it off i arrive to find its been pushed outside :x :x :x :x :x
All they have done is removed a bumper and my lights pulled off the bump strips and poked and prodded at the holes in the car


its looking so very sorry for itself .. cyber

















Well there you have it with all its rust in its glory

all rust is being sorted and will eventualy look mint but its so sad seing it like this .. i no at the end of the day its only a xr2i and a lot of people wouldent bother buuuut ... then again i love this car ..

a slightly annoyed and frustrated cybermods

P.S it better be ready for FITP

ok went back but with the cam today to get some pictures ..
















Its good to see those holes in my floor gone
they are still working on the inner arch part but getting there
they have been cracking on with all the other cars with little jobs so that they can get mine inside and begin ripping the outside to bits
they now have all the replacement panels ready to be put on e.t.c

comments/e.t.c welcome as allways
