...into the bodyshop. I'm not going to put too many words here, I'll let the photos do the talking.

The car when I bought it two years ago

Some of the goodies to go on the car that I've been collecting over the last two years

Screen was removed last week (broke on the way out though :cursing :sad ) and the rear arches were cut out too.

All being well they're starting on welding the new arches in this week and pulling/filling the myriad of dents.

I'll get the photos of the current state next week when my parents return from holiday with the camera that the photos are on.

I also need to order some rear bumper brackets becuase mine had succumbed to the dreaded tin worm and collapsed when they removed the bumper :oops

You might be giving me the enthusiasm to get mine sorted again with the Roversports side skirts.

I am still undecided whether to go the whole hog with front/rear bumper and whale tail on mine so it will be nice to see yours when finished.
