Thanks Howard. I've also been sneaking the help of the same professional for fit lines. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] When I bought the car(complete) the body was pretty straight, but fit lines were shocking. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] Yep, this is by far the hardest part. The fit lines are not perfect and I've got to make a call when I am happy enough with them. Will do a final fit-up over next few days and decide if they are good enough. I've still got to fit spigots to front clip. I'm pretty fussy, but you can get anal about these things.

I've just been doing the easy stuff, labour intensive stuff. Which there is plenty of. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I've put a lot of hours into that body. Couldn't afford to pay someone to do all that work.

Get the professional to do all hard/tricky stuff for a few reasons: I'm a bit short of time, been quite sick of late, don't really have the space now to do body work(create that much dust) and want to try to ensure that some of body defects don't come back. Been lucky to find someone that is quite happy for me to come down and work on the body while it's in their shed.

Major stuff being done by Professional/s:

Widen of rear guards
Fix all stress cracks
Fix all heat cracks
Glass in MKIII side window frames
Mould & glass in napa duct housings.
Body prep
Paint

I would have liked to have done more, but illness has kept me away from the car, so haven't been able to do as much as I would have liked. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] At least it's progressing again now. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
