Look good matt.
Takes a lot of effort to get it presentable, can't imagine how long to get it prize winning.

A little bit of filler and a quick squirt of paint. There is some bits need a little more work but it will do for now, I'm planning on spraying the whole back end at a later date once I've repaired the small rust spot at the bottom of the rear window. Hopefully get it rebuilt at the weekend then mot and back out for a bit of fun.

For someone who calls that "that will do for now" that's bloody good mate. Body work has always fascinated me how people can get it looking so smooth and perfect, I don't have the patience for it.

That looks great Matt, I love doing bodywork but still have to pay someone else for welding. Ive never even tried it tbh...

I got it all back together this morning and I am pleased with how it looks although it does need a good polish now to make the old paint a bit shinier . Ive got a couple of small bits to do on it which i'll hopefully get done this week and then it will be getting some abuse bank holiday Monday on a mini run battering around the lanes
