nivag27 5 Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Have you got the grill sprayed yet? Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted May 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 nah it's at the body shop but am working so have no time to start it yet :( all going to be sprayed at the same time as the rest of the bits mate progress pics will be up as soon as stuff happens Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted May 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Stage 1 is under way !! dropping the door cards off on Saturday to have the leather inserts colour coded to the car, then on Sunday the interior is being stripped so the rubbing down and paint prep can start in earnest next week. Headlining and another couple of bits should be done next week oh but this is all dependant on the fact it goes through the MOT tomorrow with no major problems !! fingers crossed :) once the work is underway will make sure I get plenty of pics up too Link to post Share on other sites
