All good things come to those who wait

Yeah it has been a while, but the guys at the bodyshop have been very busy and here is the proof....

Brand new front end showing signs of paint ....

Brand new inner wings looking better and very shiney! ....

Inner arches looking great.....

New flooring has been painted and given some sound deadening...

Old bodykit still fits...

Goodbye to that nasty rusty bit above the windscreen....

Still a long way to go, but the shell should be getting sprayed next week. Its then all the other bits that will need spraying.

smitsturbo · 13-11-2006, 07:01 PM

been following this closely mate your doing a fine job?

my shell is the same...well not as bad but every time you go
to weld something you find another bit that needs doing...

if i knew mine was going to be that bad i wouldnt have started but
when the body shops already done most of it...

you dont want to tell him to stop do you?

it must be aberdeen weather

Scottish Greg · 13-11-2006, 11:16 PM

I was never going to say stop anyway
