Sorry guys just needed to trim down these posts into one my fault should stick to one thread.
Some of the photos you have seen Before.

New rear quarter panel now fitted

Head lining shot New one will be fitted

Latest find more damage in door panel more bondo!
This car is turning into a prime example of what you can cover up in a car
I think Raffe should be embarrassed and give that trophy back

New door Purchased today along with some other parts not into bondo

Ooh, hinges are a nice touch.

It's amazing about that door . . . that's a lot of bondo under the paint.

You wouldnt believe how many people have asked for the hinges to be done.

It is taking longer than I thought to restore this car as so much damage found once Rocky started stripping back the paintwork.

So had to replace so many body panels.
