Stripped & ready for respray

Well my mate has just sent me a few pics from the bodyshop..... Just nearly had a f**king herart attack Untill I saw the last pic

why did he not just cut the old arch out and weld a complete new one in gaz?
surely that would have been easier and better in the longrun

Havent got a clue realy? The arch on the side hes completed was pretty solid it was just at the back that was gone, but I do see where your coming from about putting a whole ne piece in.
The other side looks like he will be putting the full arch in tho by the look of the picture :/

That's a nice neat repair!

That is a good bit of repair work

Yep im happy with that, Can you see the pink anti roll bar Stu?

Lol dosnt look as pink now does it haha

Homo!

Lol, I need to try & find a cusco blue colour & paint it again, so it will match the centre caps on the wheels

Halfords do a blue enamel paint in a spray gaz when you stripped the door did you take the glass out then strip electrics handle etc or just wind the window down then strip it ?

Doors were all stripped mate, glass, electrics etc

pink is beautiful, only real men can show their female sides!

Real men and gays! And Gaz comes under the gay part lol

Do you realy want to start this again Sue?

can you make me one aswell please, obviously il pay the going rate


gaz......is that bung gonna be in the right place as it looks like its at the top, you don't want it fowling on the underside as they stick out a fair bit you know

No once the exhaust is bolted back on the car, the lamba will sit at 2 oclock position. I marked it all up before I took exhaust off & theres plenty of room

Yeah course bob will see how good my one comes out first lol ...ive only had a go on a tig once but the bloke was a pro so it was all set up proper but im sure il be ok jack of all trades me lmao .

Gaz when you talk to your spray mate could you get a qauntity on paint for me ..... i spoke to the paint place said it was golf size and he said i would want 5 ltrs of  primer  3 ltrs of colour coat and 5 ltrs of a/b thinners i will probably get more colour than i need prob get 5-6  litres as i want it mixed all at the same time so its same colour rather than not have enough and get some more it may slightly be out ....

Yep no worrys mate ill find out & let you know

Getting there now

Looking good Homo

Cheers Sue, just dreading putting it all back together & scratching it
