i know them, they did a repair for me a few years back on our Audi. They made a nice job, easy to deal with.

 

Had my raddo's done by Archie Dewar @ Peat Inn, was always pleased with his work, just took ages !

 

I will look forward to the pics.

[BILLCOR 1]

Aye, they are all local lads, know most of them personally, decent guys.

I know Archie Dewar as well and yes, he's slow, he had one of my nephews cars up there for months

I was considering Stuart Moncreiff at Windygates, but his workshop is a real PITA to get to, especially with a lowered car, shame, as he is very good.

Will get some pics up when its underway :thumbleft:

[BILLCOR 1]

Yes, its gone today :(

Excited I bet. Never had a car in for proper paint before but will good to see this back together with all the bits you have.

[BILLCOR 1]

Yep, cant wait, its only a couple of miles from my house, so I'll be popping in for some pics

A wee joke yep, new paint at last, the wings haven't been finalised as yet, the guys at the bodyshop think it might be easier to roll the ones fitted to the car as they are the originals and in decent condition, will see what they decide :shrug:

Few pics of the work so far, lovely bare metal, maybe just get it laquered now, looks like a De-Loreon

[KADVR6 0]

thats coming on nicely, and yeh def just lacquer over bare metal would look mental.

[coullstar 0]

Back to bare metal!!! Thats brave. How long are they taking to do this?

Why brave? will take a few weeks

Are you going to take the windows out?

Does look awesome in bare metal

[BILLCOR 1]

Rear window and side quarters are out, door windows dont have to come out and the windscreen is staying put, the main seal has been removed and there's no sign of rust round there, so no point really.

 

They have found no more rust, the bodywork is solid apart from the bit around the rear arch which we knew about, new metal going on there :thumbleft:

[coullstar 0]

I was under the impression that taking paint all the way back to bare metal on the whole car can lead to an increased chance of moisture getting trapped on the bare metal and eventually rust coming through after a while. Its a large surface area. I realise you need to get rid of any corrosion however when they paint at the factory Im sure its in sealed and de-humidified booths for this very reason. I could be takling tosh though...
