Cool. How much did you get it for? The car looks mint! This is the sort of stuff I do

Update

OK i know you lot love updates and pictures so here they are in order of the job

Coupe Pickup anyone - The rear panel removed

Many Hours later after a lot of ouch that's hot .. crap oooo ahhh and ooo the new panel was on and solid

OK also in the little smash the rear back quarter panel was a bit damaged on the lip and a slight kink in the middle ... we were originally going to replace the whole panel but we decided that was a waste of what was a OK panel nothing a bit of filler would not sort

Ooo what a mess , we had to pull up the end lip to align with the boot ... we got there eventually.

Primer

Finial Coat

Its come out better than i hoped considering the bending and bashing and filling was needed... also the paint match was very good

Just got the boot/bumper to paint now and it will be complete

More pictures Soon
