Hi all

Thought i would share a few photos of my 30

Took her into my bruvs bodyshop (Paintpot) approx 6 weeks ago for stone chips to the front valance, wings etc...

All was looking Ok until we took off the bodykit,,

Not too much of a horror story really but issues that certainly needed addressing, all four jacking points were rotting gently away, front valance
on one side required plating and bottom inner wing needed attention
The front wings were also not that clever at the bottom due to the inner guards not being fitted approx 2 years ago when she last went in for Paint

My other Brother rich then got to work with his welder and made her all right again, old wings came off, new wings stoneguarded and painted

Heres a couple of piccys of my brothers handy work

After further deliberation and wanting to know that all was well under the rest of the bodykit, we decided to strip the rest of the car to be safe rather than sorry, that all done, i decided to have her all resprayed, so out came the windows, new sunroof sought including new seals.

Once all was prepped and flat, on went the wet stuff, 6 coats of paint,, and
4 coats of laquer,, Hand flatted and polished to high heaven,

Here are a couple of pics next to my bruvs Richards 30,

Envy is a really unpleasant sensation but luckily the beauty of that car (especailly the under bonnet goodness) soothes the agony!

Once again, excellent chariot sir
