Cute, the way you left the horn on to save you time unbolting it and refitting it later! Will you mask around it for painting (like Mr. Bean decorating his flat?)
Ha Ha! LOL!
(only joking, M8 - I'd have bottled out a while ago already!)
Good luck with the project.
Hi Andy - just wondering how long it took you to do all that?
I'm getting a body fitter to do mine for me and wondered how long it took you so I can roughly work out the cost - being charged by the hour.
However, I'll be replacing panels individually and not in piece as you have done.
Thanks
Phil
It took about 6 hours but that included fixing the top of the kick panels and a bit on the floor, will take about 3 hours to finish welding it up and dressing of the welds
cheers Andy
