updated peeps!
ok, now where to begin lol...work done to the car this week is:
Remove windscreen
Remove ALL rust from car - sunroof and windscreen
sand complete car
prime car
finish rear arches
flatten door handles
remove little dings and dents
some pics
the car has been coated in Glasurit Primer where needed (only parts not to be done was the boot, small bit on the door and c pillars....primer alone cost Ł195!!! but the quality of the stuff is amazing! even the sprayer stood back and said that is a good finish...he aint looking forward to sanding it though as he tried a little today (to get rid of a few imperfections) and he said its like rock LOL...looks like sanding will take longer than expected
am going to wait 1 week before we start sanding the car so the primer has had the chance to dry FULLY and hopefully help give a better finish instead of only the top layer being dry and us sanding then quickly spraying it...
roll on next week

cheers peeps! bit annoyed at the moment....went to the bodyshop last week friday and they havent even started on the car at the moment...it was meant to be finished by tuesday last week!....dad ended up having a MAJOR argument with the guy we know there (the owner ) and he keeps saying they aint had time to start it! let alone finish it...
so now he says they will start it next week monday...have it fully painted by wednesday and then let it dry for another 3 days then ill take it back for the paint to be cut then build it all back up
very annoyed at the moment...considering selling it...have been offered a Seat Leon Cupra R but the insurance is a little steep
