 In the background it looks like a RC car on top of a cylinder head? O_O

Aha you would be right it's a hyper 7 nitro RC car it's sat on top of a 1.8t Audi TT head. Which is scrap anyways so doesn't really matter

Cheers dude and think it may be as I should be able to just repair the other rear quarter. So this should be the last big panel to go in now.

Cheers guys and I can't wait for the paint prep stage ! and yup should be pretty striaght and 100% rust free :)

Went down the unit earlier blasted the hubs up so they can be painted and built up.

Also done a little bit more welding along the quarter and test fitted some arches I had laying about. I've decided my extractions I have will be sent away to be split and widened and will be going on the van with some arches unsure on what arches yet.

Yeah think cars with just some nice small modds look better plus anything with a retro look is always a win.

 

I was going to ask about the bumper thought it may have had some film on it.... nice rare part....
