The bootlid is great, the back panel has some surface rust on the underside bumper lip and a couple of small tears on the lip from a previous rear valance replacement/bodge up.

 

One quarter panel is very good with just  a small amount of surface rust on the bottom behind the arch where they all go but the other one has quite a bit of rust along the bottom but nothing unrepairable.

 

Everything else is great and has saved me a packet! just was a bit of work but i don't mind that

There's one in my garage mate, I'll order the high build primer and you can paint it if it'll make you feel better

[Ben_O]

Well i'm coming round tomorrow to give you a hand and as we are staying on now, i could help with any other bits that need doing.

 

I'll prime it for you if you like?

Thanks mate. That means alot.

 

It has been a struggle at times and still i haven't got that far with it which is frustrating. I hoped it would be in paint by now.

 

It's just one setback after another. Once i get sorted out at home, it will come on leaps and bounds in a short period hopefully.

 

Thanks
