    look at it this way....

    he's been asked by a young lad to do up his 'dream' car, a 20 year old spanish rotbox that the lad will most likely wrap round a bit of scenery within the year..... will it get properly rustproofed?????????????

    Mowgli is right about the 25 year old spanish rotbox, but I've had the car for 9 years and it's never been wrapped around anything.

    At the end of the day it's mates rates and my dads mate is extremely good longtime mates with the bodyshop guy, I'm gonna strip it and remove the engine so it'll save him a bit of time. And tbh the car is quite clean/ only the rear arches are rotten which will need more serious work. The rest is minor shizzle.

    All will be told when its done and I will post pics up.

    Do it - sounds a good deal to me

    Providing the work is good - he gets paid!!!

    And if he is a mate of your dads/he has seen the car/you have seen his work - what you got to lose???

    yeah I think this is a rare opportunity. Its true you get what you pay for but this is discounted. I told the guy that he'll get some advertisment online as I'll obviously recommend him to people if the work is spot on + if I get featured in a mag then I'll be sure to thank him on there too. So some decent publicity.
