New update:

Well got car from bodyshop, Really happy with results. Spoke to a mate of mine a DingMaster and he sorted few dents out, which was great on friday..... so was all sorted for the shows this weekend.

and then i woke up on saturday morning to find my freshly sprayed drivers side has been keyed door and WHOLE rear quarter..... to say i'm pissed off it an understatement

I'm F*cked off with people just fucking other peoples hard work up and i live at the top of a street tucked in the corner so the person/people know where i live and come up there just to key it

Saturday afternoon i cracked on with gearbox and brakes

at the moment i'm just so pissed off.....

These are the only pictures i got atm, will update the keys ones soon.....

After i got it back from the bodyshop:



New Bits:





The cars now going in for full respray and having new wings and bonnet

Cheers Dale

Update:

Well first off here a few pictures from Combe and Trax







After the "keying" i decided to get the re-sprayed inc new genuine front wings and bonnet:





Also got my bonnet stay sprayed white:

Before:



After:



My anti-roll bar had seen better days and started to knock so i gained this from a corsa from work going to scrap through the scrapage scheme



Still missing front pre 97 trim, has anyone got one?



Bought these from vaux today:





And final little touch custom Dice

Update 25th Sept:

Well as you all know the car got keyed after just having that side sprayed, so i decided to get car fully re-sprayed by a bodyshop i know and trust......

To save a few pennies i helped with the prep and my bodyshop guy helped too. Heres few pictures of what we got done so far:

First we "de-badged and bump stripped" it, i knew the passenger door had filler in it but as soon as we took them of we found it wasn't even primered



So we decided to get another door as it also had 2 horrible creases:



Que, doner door:



Found rust under drivers mirror



the "keyed" rear quarter:



and the reason for new bonnet:



Few deep scratches on the roof. Prevous women owners and handbags



Part way through the prep, only 1/2 the "keyed" area has been sanded out in the picture:




Never realised how hard to was to photo problems on white paint

will keep you posted with updates....
