So its been 6 weeks since I last updated so here's what's gone on since it was sent to the painters:
Once it got to the painters it went straight on the ramp to weigh the job up, this was the first time the painter had been able to get up close to the car fully. Turns out there was a lot of welding missed or not done properly so a complete strip down was done, doors off, all running gear removed, fuel tank, dash, wiring loom, external vinyl the lot.
From there various (a lot of intricate) welding was done, rear chassis legs and spring cups, rear panel, boot and windows seal ridges, filler neck, front inner arches, rear inner arches. More seam welding in engine bay, arches roll and sealed to inner arches.
As well as the welding a lot of underseal was scraped off, a hole for the fuel pump access was cut and the nsr rear valance was re fabricated as the rear bumper did not fit over it.
The new front doors were stripped down as well and the dent in the rear quarter was pulled out.
It has now had its first coat of stone chip applied to the underside including all wheel arches and engine bay.
Next is allowing the underseal to fully cure before hitting it again with another coat of underseal including front and rear valances.
So that's it in brief for now so here's a lot of pictures to enjoy
