Never mind you when do you get car home ?

johnny gtir wrote:Never mind you when do you get car home ?

First thing I did when I got home was take a walk down to the unit.
The painters wife had just locked up.
Its almost finished. They have had a few issues to sort out for me with the arches I had done. And some of the paint was pealing off when they were rubbing the body down so they have had to take the paint further back.
She said it looks amazing and to go down tomorrow and have a look if I want.
But the car should be finished by Monday so I have decided to wait to see the finished item..

Nice one good news on car and yourself then

Awesome mate, good to hear!

You having full body blown or just panels needed etc, remember you having sill and arch panels stocked ready .

Full body paint mate. The whole car needed painting. The roof needed going back to metal.
I had the rear arches and sills sorted a month ago.
I will be checking closely to see if there's anything remotely johnny in the car
I'm gonna pop by the bodyshop later as I have new fixings for the sill skirts.
Plus I have a spotlight grill I need painting

You don't need to use that spot light grill mate, plenty of other people that can make good use of it

Was that spotlight grill found in your intestines during surgery !  

Hope paint come out a treat, full respray is nice and makes sense, will make a huge difference .

Those spotlight grilles are over-rated and ugly, skip it or post to woody, not worth the paint is that

Lol it was a good find but not inside my intestines

Yeah the car needed a full re paint. There were paint platers from a bad paint job and a few little rust spots and little dents around the car.
Plus panels had been painted so it didn't match all round.
The guy painting it is really good at what he does and has restored his own xr2i and that is a sweet paint job..
He was excited to paint mine and has been talking about it with friends we have in common.
So im confident it's going to be an awsome job
As for the spotlights. They are over priced. But I got this one for a decent price I think

Will look sweet with spot grill, really work well on front visually, more so with uncut bumper and the alloy guard . Sounds like got a keen body guy and that half the battle, you got find people who got heart in it .
all the best ...

Never realised it was full dip should be good thought it was rears sorted. Ideal

I cant fir an alloy bumper guard. My turbo casing has been turned around and exits underneath so the ic piping is too low. Plus the cross member has been cut in half to fit the turbo in its lower form.
(Cross member we all use to jack the car from at front)
The painter really has got the heart and it isn't his main job so does it as extra income.
He has a professional setup in a huge unit.
But he paints for a huge company as his main job.

Yeah its having the works done mate. Will be better than new the painter said

I bet you just want the car back, I cant think of anything better than a nice fresh paint job, really gives you a good feeling looking at the car

Little update.
I have been back in hospital for the last week.
Gall stones were infected and then caused the gall bladder to become infected.
Didnt eat for 6 day so last some more weight.
Been on a drip and antibiotics all week.
I shoukd hopefully be out again soon. All the pain has gone and looks like the gall bladder has recovered.
But they can't understand why I'm getting random high temperatures through the night. So a few more tests and an xray is planned.
I need to get out and drive my car. It needs a wash haha

Sticky thermostat by sounds of it :-) or saucy dreams !
Hope all sorts out okay ...

Thanks Tom.

Yeah not eating for 6 days is extreme mate lol
I wasn't fussed tho because I didn't feel like eating.
I'm only eating small portions now. And only twice a day.
Cant wait to get better so I can have a fully loaded meal again lol

Sorry to hear you're on hospital rations
I feel a bit guilty for having this gorgeous roast lamb, seasoned with fresh rosemary, roast potatoes, rich gravy and yorkshire pud for my Sunday dinner.

Hope you Get well soon,
