          Thing is Bish he has 25+ guys work for him but its one of the busiest bodyshops in our area, does all the insurance companies and main dealer work so they never have a spare minute, plus if they are working on the boss's car they aren't earning him any money .

                  Purely a road car Aaron

                  Rear bubble now had a coat of filler and sanded back, took very little as the bubbles were a nice tight fit to the quarter panel.







                  Started sanding of the rear panel, all good , no nasties to be found



                  Front bubble and wing took to bare metal

                          Been working down the drivers side taking the shell back to bare metal, colour choice is down to Le Mans or Modena, will try and get some better pics this week as my phone ones are poor.

                          If I can leave the shell prep to the bodyshop there may be a start on the MK2 arched shell, as well as a certain white one coming to visit soon, not to mention stripping the grey one.

                          The owner has decided to keep the little grey one as well, until this bubble is finished, no doubt he has something up his sleeve.

                          cheers, Paul

                          • Lads in the bodyshop drew straws and the shortest got to work on the mk1 today moved onto front wing, it had a couple of dings in various places but is blending in nice, gonna re hang the door possibly tomorrow to ensure a nice fit is achieved.
