no bodywork updates as of yet im afraid, as is always the case when i take on these resto jobs i have become very busy again but luckily Paul is patient and understanding, wish all my customers were like him. there wont be many tasty massive chunks of metal missing type shots of this car either as its dissapointingly solid lol.

Looks like id better stick up a couple of pics to keep the vultures at bay winkeye

i have started by cleaning up the patches on the rear panel to find out how far we need to go, just four small repairs so not worth ripping the whole rear end apart to fit a replacement panel.

Thanks for posting up Matt, will pm email addy for you :D :D

Looks like an E30 restoration garage now, how much does the council charge you for taking away all the rusty old metal, must cost a fortune 8O 8O

Great to see things progressing, hopefully not to much rust to remove along the way.
