Update: No final paint yet, but the prep is virtually complete.
Needs a final primer applied, but all of the stopper, levelling and tidying is done; they've even made the front panel joins look really good.
Attachment 75847 Attachment 75848 Attachment 75849 The bodyshop have asked for the new door pins and new bonnet hinges to be taken over this week as they're going to fit the doors and bonnet in place to paint - it's a pearl paint so they can't really be done off the car otherwise they'll look different. Obviously the engine bay, door shuts etc will be done first.
They're hoping to get the paint on next week and I think that if they don't we might need talk about setting a finish date, as although they've made a really good job, it's taking much longer than originally estimated. I'm prepared to give a lot of leeway, but obviously the longer it takes, the less decent weather we've got left to put things back together; I really don't want to be doing fiddly body or electrical work when the dark nights and cold days starts to draw in again. We'll see how things go this next week; the quality of the work so far has been very good however, so I'm expecting a really good final finish.
