my 2wd saph ( updated 29th oct )
decided in april that i wanted to bring the paint work to the best condition possible although it wasnt rotten there was a few marks and scratches, and the bootlid had bubbled up under the spoiler so i decided to take it off the road and sort it out.
the worst place for rust was the bootlid i was very suprised to find no horror stories after stripping the car down
once in the paintshop it had a few repairs to dings and imperfections that i wasnt happy with
these pics were taken as it left the spray booth
my living room was starting to reseemble a spares shop with all of the new bits that were going on the car
i decided to get the bumper bars cut out to aid the cooling to the 500 intercooler
and add the rs500 style splitter
unfortunatly after it was all fitted back up and i had it back for a week i notivced some blisters around the doors edges it had suffered a paint reaction so it had to go in again
so we took the oppurtunity of stripping the bay down and getting that freshened up too
whilst all this was happening tracey and i took the oppurtunity to build a install
here are some pics of the car as it is now well worth all of the hard work
a massive massive thanks to supreme motor bodies particulary pat,thanks to tracey for her help and understanding,and scott for his help
future plans to include the underneath will get some attention i havent decided weather to go full bufty or not yet,i have a big hi spec disc conversion in the bedroom awaiting fittment and a few other bits and bobs.

Did you remove all the glass, interior trim, engine, etc... for the respray, I would love to know how much you have to take off the car for a proper job.
I take it from the pictures that the inside of the pillars has been done too ?
