All good things come to those who wait 
Yeah it has been a while, but the guys at the bodyshop have been very busy and here is the proof....
Brand new front end showing signs of paint ....
Brand new inner wings looking better and very shiney! ....
Inner arches looking great.....
New flooring has been painted and given some sound deadening...
Old bodykit still fits...
Goodbye to that nasty rusty bit above the windscreen....
Still a long way to go, but the shell should be getting sprayed next week. Its then all the other bits that will need spraying.
