So after being in for 3 weeks, my car is almost done! I'll be picking it up Saturday morning. Here's a couple of progress pics my mate took for me. Enjoy 
Began flatting rust and bad spots:



Then started on whole body by sorting out dents etc:



Into primer:



Flatting down again after primer:


And then came the gorgeous Smoke Grey paint:




Thats it for now. Just a few bits to do and it'll be all ready and I'll get some decent completed pics up. Cheers for looking

Ohright. Did you get the slam pannel painted ect? Remember you saying you were going to get them done. How much did it cost you if you don't mind me asking?

Hmm. Very much doubt so. He knows how fussy I am and certainly wouldn't leave rust there.

Yeh slam panel, inner wings and chassis legs been done too. Well, as best as possible considering the engine stayed in. Looks excellent though. It's costing me just over 1k as I've known the chap quite some time
