Picked the shell up late yesterday afternoon. The other bits (grill, mirrors, door handles etc) i will collect today. So happy with it. Being a fussy ****er (and as part of my job i have to be able to spot deforms/blemishes/etc) there are 1 or 2 little things but on the whole just chuffed to have it back and painted. Now the real fun begins!!!

Big thanks to the boys at M4 Bodyshop!!

The other bits...

Looks very nice fella! Breeze Blue is a lovely colour as well :)

Can't wait to see the finished item

That looks fapping good.

Just need to start bolting things back on now, the hardest bits are out the way.

Crack on!

Looks great dude! The fun bit begins now as it all starts to take shap again!

Didn't you use to have a smoothed bay tho? Sorry if its already been covered :(
