Only getting it on the roll over jig was a problem, it wasn't up to the job so had to get it made stronger. It's took him 2 weeks to do it.

I'm sure it'll all be good from now on Glenn.
I've given up with the bodywork on mine, I'm just going to get it running, abuse it and then put it all into an Escort Cossie.

Been to the bs today and dropped the rear beam out. It only took me an hour.
The osf seat mount has been repaired.
The rusty bit inside near the osr inner wheel arch.
The reason why the beam had to come out.

Yeh defo matey. It sounds daft but from the 2 bits he has repaired so far the repair work just looks to be at a higher standard than what was done in the other bodyshop.

I managed to polish the marks out the front bumper and I bought a second hand bumper off ebay for 60 quid so Gaz is gonna repair it and repaint it.
I also got a door rubbing strip too thanks to KosieNutter.
