Been upt to the bodyshop today to see if owt had been done to the old nail

All the front end is now on and firmly in place

The sunroof has now been filled , mark decided not to go with the full roof swap as the roof i brought (got ripped off with ) wasnt the best of roofs to do a roof swap, and ive got to say he has made an absolute awesome job of doing it Marks work really is top notch

some more piccies to keep you upto date
