Just a small update, went up to the bodyshop tonight to see how things were getting on & i will let the pictures do the talking. :D

A few i took a week or so ago after they started cleaning/stripping back the holes that needed welding up which did make it look alot worse than it actually was.

Image


Image


Image

From tonight.

Holes plated back up but still need finishing off & cleaning up.

Image


Image

Front inner arch work so far.

Image


Image

Also ive some extra work done on both sills which wasnt planned.

Image


Image


Image

Next stage is for me to clean up around the rear plug holes which im getting also welded up.

Areas i will be cleaning up the weekend.

Image


Image

Hopefully i will have the car back all finished at the end of next week looking a bit better for its self.

Also sorry for the crap pictures,it was dark & they were leaving when i got there tonight.

Next update should be alot better so watch this space. :thumbsup

i was playing with that thought because i have a bbs front spoiler, and the sideskirts and rear part are too high in comparision with the front.

Didnt take any pictures of it after as i forgot but it is now all ready (well i think so anyway).

Also this week i had a little surprise in the post from John,a sample of cord which my new carpet is being made from.
