Well, after 9 months in the body shop I finally got the tub back last weekend - bonnet doors and boot to come next week. Spent a day flatting and polishing - now THATS' a boring job, still a bit more to do to really show the pearl/metallic effect properly.

But seeing as the whole back has been widening by about 5 inches I think the final effect is good - and you can't see the join Rescued attachment 22012008104.jpg

looks nice, though now you need to be careful you don't scratch it nightmare

Yeah - I know, and it's in a tiny single garage, gonna buy a couple of new thick dust sheets and tape them to the body....

If it was mine, it would be mattresses on the walls.
Looks really nice.

I must pop round to donuts with a camera when he's flatting that gel coat

Nice jasper, i am thinking in real life the colour is a tad deeper. My screen makes red look orange and orange look yellow ish
