[robrado974 1]

got some pics today from the sprayshop ,they rang aswell to say the paint aint to clever,i new it had been blown in but as the pic that looks like the rings of a tree shows its been blown in more than once :( .the bonnet had to be taken back to bare metal ,the roof ,wings n tailgate will be taken back to at least primer stage because they did not want to go over original paint because of pitting n stuff,they said its up to me if i want to run the risk of it repeating the same thing in two or so years time.so out comes the windscreen and rear screen so they can be taken right back,i want a proper job done and they can garantee paint job aswell.at this stage they have been great, impressed with correspondence from them sending pics and explaning any probs they have fully with me before going ahead with work.they also said the bloke they use is there tommorow and will remove windscreen n rear screen. there will only be extra cost if windscreen breaks ,which bein a pig to get out sometimes they do ,anyway heres the pics.

should have some more pics on friday ,rob
