Camaro Repairs - Off to a bad start :-(
« on: November 06, 2007, 09:56:53 am »
The Camaro was dropped off in Watford at the weekend, for Rocky to work some of his magic.  It needed some small damage repairs, but I've also asked him to sort out some of the body lines, putting them back to standard, which would get rid of some of the rust that is starting to appear at the same time.

Anyway, got the first update report this morning, and the opening line is:

Alot of filler found, and alot of rust




I knew she wasn't perfect, but I wasn't expecting it to be that bad.

He's also found some evidence of damage to the front fender extensions, again covered up with filler

I'm waiting for some pics to show just how bad it is, hopefully not too much.

Still, it's only day 1, and I have faith in Rocky
