Looking bloody nice Matt!! 
They're proper cracking on with it too! Everytime I have a job done at a bodyshop, it takes fucking ages! I've got my grille and headlight strip in at the place I use to be painted and he hasn't touched it yet! To be fair though, he hasn't had them long, it's only been 2 and a half months!!!

Cheers Gary, yeah thy haven't messed me about at all and the price only went up by Ł80 for the little extra bit of welding that was required!
Get your bits back and get them in to my bloke!

To be honest, I'm getting that pissed off with bodyshops, I'm so tempted to just leave the poxy thing as it is and just abuse it! I just hate the bodywork with a fucking passion as it is!! The guy I use does a good job but doesn't seem to be bothered about getting anything done and all the others I've used, well you know the score with those!! Lol!
Yours looks pukka in the latest pics though!!

I glad I kept at it now, the love is back for sure !
Funny how things change, I fitted some when I first got it and really didn't like them, but now love em!
Never, not keen on the transit lights lol, I do have a pair to fit if I feel the need tho, who knows tho......
Yep deffo looks very 80's
I did try them but just didn't look right, maybe I'll refit them at some stage but fir now they are staying put!

It does look good don't it lol cheers mate I think I'm going to need it
working hours are around 130-140 ish I they said,
have found a few little bits in the paint that will want sorting but they can wait till its built back up as i reckon it will flat and polish out

Fitted a few more bits today
Got all the door glass in and new front door glass surrounds, will look out for for new rears but wont be holding my breath!
Painted the rear door trims and door handles satin black
Got the seats back in all cleaned up and re-coloured
Will look to replace/have the drivers seat repaired at some stage. Will hopefully get the front screen booked to be fitted this week, then it will be watertight....not that it maters really as it wont be going anywhere till early next year as its a garage queen now lol!!
Need to order 2 new arch liners from Ford and get a new set of door seals as they are rusty on the ends so no point fitting the old ones really.
Will also get if I can new rear screen seals as min are faded.... god I'm turning in to a tart lol
Then its pretty much built back up
