If I ever need any bits doing in future would you be interested in a bit of pocket money for it? Very impressed with this. 2013 Saw me shell out the best part of a grand to cut out the rot and replace with fresh metal on my Rev 3.

looks like your a hell of a distance away from me, I'm based in fife , Scotland, always willing to point someone in the right direction if there stuck, don't think I want to take on extra work though lol. I think if I added all the hours together spent on the car just doing the sills it's probably due me 40 hours, don't think ma wife's impressed I've hardly seen her all christmas hols - oops

Needs must :thumleft:

We're alive lol, the cars lookin great, I wanted it right so have stripped all a wee components to the bones as well so there's no over spray etc

Managed to rip the rubber seal On the trim between the rear window and roof, which might turn out to be a disaster but we'll get a new one, or something equivalent

Got a few more things to do and fling it all back together and appreciate the work, going to drive like a granny after this lol.

Big thanks to cammy d the painter who made it all happen!
