Car back from bodyshop - finally
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

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....

He's done a really nice job on that body!! Very nice and a great choice of colour.
Well done fella!!
Oh and seeing as you love flatting and polishing so much you can come and do mine when i get it

If it was mine, it would be mattresses on the walls.
Looks really nice.
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!
