- Start date
Yes looks great. Let's see some more
What time are you picking it up Gaz as might pop over to see the finished article?
Would be cool if you are about Brian, I'm due in to Nuneaton train station at just gone 11. Not been on a train for about 20 years, so no idea how accurate that timing actually is...
Wow! Wow! Wow! JIM
Finished.....
Looks fantastic a lot of work has gone into that top work 
Well worth the wait! Absolutely stunning now thanks to @Russell O - you are a genius with paint.
It's achieved everything I was looking for, removal of the swirl marks and reduction in visibility of some larger marks. As also was expected it's made the stone chips stand out a little more than before, but I'll be ordering some touch up paint to lessen the look of those.
Russ was brutally honest with both the work he carried out, and the condition of the underlying paintwork. I've got some handwritten notes on each panel, with his comments and findings as he worked. He has discovered that the car has had previous respray work covering a lot of the panels, and in some places not to a high standard. Of course all of this was masked by the paint deterioration.
That all said, she looks pretty sweet for a near 10 year old car. Can't thank you enough for your hard work and diligence. If anyone is looking for a bit of work, you know where he is (which for those who don't - near Nuneaton).

I was going to take some pictures at a scenic location when I got back, but it rained on the way back and this happened... Oh the humanity! Sorry Russ, I got it dirty

All that hard work, loving care and attention to detail. What did I say about giving it back @Russell OThat's a fantastic job. Now @GazHyde as you got her dirty on the way home
You did mate, but how big is BIG??Got to save up for them first. But they will be the correct offsets so will fit without the need for spacers... Oh, and did I mention BIG
