Looks fantastic!!

Popped in today and she is now down to bare metal on the outside but that unfortunately has revealed some filler and fibre glass that needed repair (more cost

) . The good news is you can see that when she is all done we will be getting back a car that is just metal .

Starting to get excited about getting her back now .

Thats looking really good. They are doing a great job, will look fantastic when its done. Have they said when it will be finished?

gillberry · Dec 22nd, 2009, 20:15

Hopefully march time

Alf ista · Dec 22nd, 2009, 20:26

Thats good. Even if it runs on a bit you will have her back for some Summer driving.

Simon & Jayne,

She is looking really good, keep the pics coming, that certainly look like good pro's to use should we need their help.

Starting to take shape now. Once the trim goes on it will look superb. Brillant progress.
Thanks for keeping us posted.
