gotta get as much welding done before wednesday
as ive been summond to the local housing office thursday morning for a bo****king for welding on the drive
(their a bit slow ive lived here 10 yrs and theve only noticed a cpl of times)

so if i can get it done they cant say too much lol
if their moaning about that their gonna love me sanding the filler down
so hopefully by then theres only the front bumper to be worked out

finally finished the last sideskirt today after the rain stopped (pics on facebook)
orderd a new front bumper from transit parts uk
as im gonna modify one as it will save a bit of time rether than making one from scratch
so now its just get the body into shape
got the first prep of the drivers side panel done and in primer :D
and although it took a lot of work seems to be quite straight
anything thats out should come right on second prep
so tomorrow is cleaning welds down and start prepping
if it aint raining :D :D
