Hi guys,well its been a funny few weeks as the car has been in the bodyshop getting sorted for its full respray.It was painted on friday after get this nearly two weeks prep work.The painter really went to town on the car demanding we remove everything so the car can be sorted properly including doors,bonnet and boot.Then today he began wet sanding and mopping an already flawless finish to bring out the true beauty of the paintwork.

Thanks for the nice comments guys.Fergus i would love to tell you what i paid but the guy knows i am posting this up and he has sworn me to secrecy on the price as it was a kind of special job for him as i had already removed a good few bits before even bringing it up to him and i also helped him on final strip down.He even went as far as painting the underside of the bonnet as it was a bit grubby and not many wet sand and then mop the entire car as i think the bonnet took about an hour to do alone but well worth it as it removes every imperfection and blemish and orange peely affect which i cant stand on resprayed cars.

Hi guys well we finished putting the car back together last thursday and i drove it home on friday in the pissing rain typical of this country doesnt give you five minutes.It took me and the sprayer a day and a bit to rebuild her i had it out for its first spin today since October and thought i would show you how she looks sorry about the crap photos i will get some proper ones sorted soon.
