The car has finally made it to the garage where the work can begin in earnest. 

Unfortunately Gary's photography is like his language, 'appalling.'

The rust on the roof has been cut out and replaced with shiny new metal.

It has now been primed with a black primer and the base coat applied.

It will definitely be worth the wait. 

I'm hoping it will be finished this week, but you know how these things go. 

I will keep the pics coming.

Cheers Paul I'm sure it will look the dogs dangles.

I have been told by Gary that the car is finally finished but he has no photos yet of the finished car. 

Here are some pics of the spoiler.

Gary has promised to clean the interior and the engine bay over the weekend!!!

The final photos will be posted over the weekend as long as the ugly one in the family sorts his life out.

He has been on the phone moaning like an old woman about all the work he has put in on the car.

He should be glad to get out the house as Eveline would only be making him do all that dominatrics stuff again.

The car is finally done. Gary has worked his poor finger to the bone (having it wedged firmly up his ar?e)

He even cleaned the engine bay for me at no extra cost!!!

All I have to do is pop the refurbed wheels on and it's good to go.

Unfortunately I won't be able to pick the car up from Gary's till the start of June so I will have to content myself with the photos till then.
