Suggest you don't go see it till it's all ready as trust me he won't be happy if you keep coming down.

It's awful working on customers cars when they are standing there and they always see the worst in the car when it's gona get a bit grubby in a bodyshop.

Just ring and ask how it's getting on.

Good advice Graeme he's never working when I go down he's always doing something else on someone else's car :/

It's still not painted no :/ won't be until next week now going tomorrow to see what he's painted.

I'm gonna use the let gasket see now it goes, used this aswell for extra sealing

Borrowed from work


Stuck on


And on !


Back end partly built up properly


Just unsure on the bend in this pipe

Take ti off George and send it back!! the bend should of been sooner in the pipe, and
not as long, make them change it for a better one.

So thought if pop down one last time and then leave Michael to it and take Graeme's advice.

Was pleasantly suprised







Glad I've had the bump strips removed









Not only are some of the panels sprayed but ...







Love the smooth boot and roof





Needs to be re assembled , spoiler on doors etc

Only a few more bits to spray.

Picking it up on Saturday all being well.

Very pleased to say the least
