a few pix of my 318is before and after dents pulled out and welding, partial respray, realignment, new wing and boot, repaired front valance/front section. Still a few bits to do and then gonna start under the bonnet. Having taken off the front panel discovered that the previous owner had 'cut and shut' the valance - 3/4 was white and 1/4 red, bolted and filled together - nice! A new front section cost me under £50.

This dent happened half hour after buying it, when b/f took back end out and into a tree lol

so far the car owes £2.7k and i'm sure there'll be at least another £2k before i'm done lol.

Thanks to badboyoutlaw for first smashing it and then doing/arranging most of the repairs!
