Hi all,
I should hopefully be picking my car up today.? My wallet - ?500 lighter than before.?
Work carried out was:
Remove 90 Spec GTI trim.
Panel beat out the arches 1 inch on the rear.
Slightly modify the fronts for more clearance.
Tidy up bodge angle grind job previous owner made of the arches.
Weld up inner and outter arches.
Paint arches.
Sealant around watery areas.
Re-fit new G60 trim on all corners.
Paint Wing mirrors.
The Gentlemen i took the car too have done work for me before.? When i arrived to ask if they'd do it they were both sanding down (by hand) an E-Type Jaguar back to bare metal.? I asked about it and was told "Blank Cheque Job".? Gotta love the E Types!!
These Gentlemen are in later life - so are seasoned veterans of the old skool paint trade, when paint was 2Pac shiny and people took pride in the job they did.? They were trained by Bently and they really do an outstanding job on anything they do.? Which is why my car is there and whenever i need bodywork done it'll be going there.
I'm just dying to see my car.? I looked at the arch work already as they asked me to look and tell them if it was the right way to go.? It's not been easy getting clearance for 9 X 16 ET 15 rims i tell you,? even with the arches angle ground it still caught the tyres enough to shred the sidewalls to pieces.
Anyway, i'll have some pictures uploaded later on tonight or tomorrow morning.? I'll be putting my car in the Projects section too, next up is a 16V G60 conversion.? Might as well write a blank cheque too then eh! lol!
Cheers
G0ldy?
