Your right. They are wrong.........
They will be going straight back then. Unless anyone wants them on here?
Who you getting to paint the car then Liam? be good to see this one in the flesh
Well its been a while since I have done much to the 5 but this week I have started on it again.
First job was to repair the rear bumper mounts using the Ashy repair panels that I had. The pic below is how it looked before I started...
I am far from a great welder but I have had a little practice and so I decided to butt weld the repair on rather than just spot weld the whole panel over the top. I then whacked some primer on it to stop rusting until I get the car sprayed. I admit it doesnt look perfect but it is strong and will def hold the bumper.
I then finished off the repair to my windscreen surround which I am more than happy with. It needs a slight bit of finishing by the bodyshop but its a million miles better than it initially was, as seen in the previous pics.
I also cleaned all the muck from the wheel arches and undersealed them to keep the rust and rot away in future years. I also had to remove the existing original decals for the respray. I thought this was a bit of a shame as they have prob been on the car since it was made A heat gun and burnt fingers got the job done
I also removed my tailgate as it was a tiny bit rusty and I sourced a really good condition one which will be going on. For the eagle eyed, the sub and amp will be disappearing too!!!
Hopefully it wont be nearly a year for my next bit of progress!
