A mate of mine, who I totally forgot had a body shop!!
He's just registered on here too I think so he'll probably introduce himself at some point, there was a brand new range rover, a classic 911 and a boxster getting done when we stuck the Focos in there, so I think its in safe hands

Some shots from the other day at Spraysystems where its getting blasted and painted
Andy (the owner and painter, and owner of a rather tasty Noble
) is letting us use his workshop to try and find a way of getting the shell on its side so he can blast it.
Trial of the DIY chassis spit, if it was only 6" higher Gotta get it chocked up



Once Ian and I can find a way of keeping it mobile whislst still being able to get it onto its side, work can commence


Massive Ta to Andy and Gaz who'll be doing the painting/bodywork on the car for their raw enthusiasm and letting a pair of rank amateurs loose while you're trying to earn a living
