Cheers guys.

Alan you need help mate. Like doctor help.

Its getting more expensive by the day. You find more wee bits that need tiding up and then you or at least I didn't factor in the cost of clips and screws(DOH!!!!)

But at least we are moving forward with it.

Gary, you seem to be doing a good job there so when your finished on yours you can start on mine.

I can't believe the condition it looks just now. How it looks now and how it used to look so good (remembers me of pics of the misses). Do you console yourself with the pics at night?

Alan.

You would think that from the photos mate but its just adhesive for the headlining.

The car still has to have the front and rear windows removed so the scuttle panel can be replaced then it is to be blocked then it will be ready for painting

Ian it's just not happening quick enough.

BMW seam sealer is a pain in the arse. It hides amulitude of sins. The holes that I thought were wee ones turned out to be a bit bigger than first thought.

 





Then the welding started yesterday and finished today.









Nearly finished





Now to underseal





All done and ready for paint prep
