Guest eddiemk3 Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Time for an update, please excuse the picture quality as they where all taken on my phone. the tailgate was full of foam from the previous owner:wall: he obviously had some tunes in da boot, innit:mad: so this had to be replaced. so the car has had all the remaining repairs needed and been rubbed down ready for paint, now i have never really done this before but i gave it my best go.

Guest eddiemk3 Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I am really chuffed with how it is going so far, considering that i have only had the car about 5-6 weeks. Id like to say a MASSIVE thanks to Mark though, although i have done a lot on this car, he had let me use his workshop, pester him 24/7, put up with me changing my mind every 2 mins. He has helped me so much and none of this would be done if i did not have the help and guidence that i have from him. I will update again this weekend as i am working on it on saturday:wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
