Fair play, I went down to look at that car, thought it was a bit of shitter tbh, done a nice job there though. That using a spray gun?

I hate bodywork, I don't have the patience.

I have to say I wopuld have masked off the arch better and removed the skirt and done it properly.

But you got it re-countoured nicely there.

her car is fine and her garage is about a foot wider than the car so its no use for anything really.

Hey that's a pukker job, that!

I wish i could produce decent results with bodywork, i have neither the skills for it, nor the patience to acquire them Sad

Easy to do mate and you can see the line a mile away!

But its a good job aside from that!
