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

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 :)

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 :lol:

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