Cheers Martin, Yeah forgotten what it looks like myself.
Did'nt fancy selling up, and did'nt fancy travelling everyday (used to do it quite often anyway) and needed the money.. So it was the best option.
Spoke to John again lastnight, Engine bay and inside are all finished and painted now, going to speak to him again on Thursday.
Fantastic Andy!
Glad to see its progressing well. It'll be great to go across to the Ring in your own car rather than other peoples for a change.
Good luck with the rest of the rebuild.

Has the entire boot floor/rear chassis legs etc been replaced with new?
Nope, Parts of the boot floor have been replaced along with the rear panel, and the chassis legs have been cleaned up as they were pretty solid and only had surface rust, nothing too structual.
Ahh right, it looks as new :D
Underneath the rear of yours did look like mine does now with all the rusty patches but still solid, glad to know it can be cleaned up as I was quite concerned about it. Can't believe how similar our cars are really.
Still hoping the guy who is doing yours will be willing to do mine once yours is finished as the work looks excellent.
Yeah it cleans up fine, my car was on it's side having all the underside done. It's come up really good, really impressed!!
Yeah i can't believe how similar ours are.... lol
How come you've changed your mind about Ady Culley painting it and now wanting John to paint it?
That was a while ago I wanted Aidy to paint it (had the money but bought the LET lump instead)and after seeing Karls car I think it looks perfect and it seems to have lasted really well as well.
Did you do the rust underneath or John? If so how did you remove it?
Worth asking for ICI paint when getting a respray done, apparently its some of the hardest wearing stuff on the market, in terms of strength & UV resistance.
My Flame Red GSi was done with it.
