    once the rear arch was done the pant was flatened down and the dents were filled and both rear archs were rolled so the wheels would not catch them





    then the car when in to be primed


    then i had to rub the primer down it was done in normal primer and then in a darker primer so the high spots could be found.

    Then I fitted glass back in and fitted the wheels I had to change the front springs on the coilovers for shorter 7" springs to get the adjusting collar away from the tyre as I did not want to run spacers
