car is a 2003 model with aircon and full service history,1owner from new 30,000 miles was a shame to strip her but wanted a good base car to use for the conversion.

cheers beany im just trying to put up the standard photos,ive got most my secrets all wrapped up so got to be carefull not to give too much away lol bodykit is now fitted and all bonded into place,ive run the car through booth 3 times at differant tempetures to make sure all solvent and pop holes have come out prior to repair,this is were the repair and filler work starts,all the joins were filled and repaired with a special carbon/fiberglass filler then when smoothed and repair nearly perfect i have used a quality ultima top stop,i have completed most technical repairs and im just going around a panel at a time to make sure all the lines and joins are 100% perfect,i will try and upload some more photos to show the technical work done,for now heres some more finished repairs that have been done............

heres some pics of the repairs and filler work i have now done,ive spent quite a few hours on and off before work and after work getting the repairs 100% and making sure the door seals fit correctly onto the repaired areas etc,all doors and panels line up perfect as these kits are a quality product and just need some minor adjustment,so here goes ive just taken a few pics to show how its going..enjoy................

just got back from work thought id take a few more photos of the repairs done so far,ive finished straightening the lines from the osr quarter panel and bootlid,filed and smoothed the rear light holes,cut the rear glass appeture and smoothed ready to take glass,will be working on the other side of quarter next week (in between my heavy work load) all my dummy discs and calipers are now painted and ready to fit.just waiting for my replacement grooved and drilled discs and pads to come.i was debating whether to fit a big brake kit as im having it supercharged with full de-cat system,the thing is im only going to use it for the nice days and to take to my shows etc,so probaly wouldnt use the extra braking power.what advice would people give me on this.................
