Yep, a few more pits/dings in the drip rail, and some repairs to be done around the front and rear screen openings, but otherwise it's all straight (it has had the rear panel and lower rear quarter panels replaced - before it was blasted) :D

Looking good Mark, bet you're really pleased with that. You need to get some etch or epoxy primer on there to seal it up pronto though :thumbup:

cheers...Nige

Keep those pics coming :thumbup: see if you can't get them to photograph every stage, so that you have a photo history of what's been done. I used to do that with all of my customers projects

cheers...Nige

Unfortunately the bodyhop guy is technologically challenged, so it's like trying to get blood out of a stone :lol: But, the next stage is my job, need to paint the underside and interior :eh: :roll: :?

What?? you mean he can't hold a camera & push a button :lol: Get him a few disposable ones to use as they're simple to use & pretty much fool proof. It's good to have a record of what's being done. If you ever need to refer back to something you can see what or how it was done. That's why I took soooo many pics of mine. My memory's not as good as it could be, so that way I know exactly what I did at any given time to repair or rectify something. If any problems ever occur I can always look back at the pics to see how I did something. I photgraphed everything & I mean everything. :thumbup:

cheers....Nige

Just a small update, I've not been a well bunny over the last week, so have not had a chance to get the underside of the car painted with stoneguard. Despite this, they've been working on fixing the bits that the media blasting exposed (took all of 2 minutes for them to show me where), and now car has been prepped and masked, ready for a primer coat.
