There are a couple of little issues that it's uncovered, but nothing to make me cry

Looks good

Is it still straight?

Does the missus know you've thieved the mattress off the bed

what motor is going in it again?

Fabulous. I even like the colour

Lolz - the mattresses were going in the bin anyway :D

It's straight enough, couple of parking dings but not the end of the world. It's getting a 12 plug 2.0 litre

I'm pleased with the arches as well - they're just bare metal and they look OK. The skim of filler will be nice and thin

Back on the road in a couple of weeks?

Looks cool.

I have 3 questions;
1) out of interest who did the E-coat
2) Did you weld your own flares
3) are you in the wellys?

I am indeed the person who has just had his wallet lightened on the right hand side in photo two

Yep, I welded in my own flares, and Surface Processing Limited in Dudley did the E coating for me
