Fair enough, its a very satisfying job bodywork when you take your time and do it well, if i had the know-how and balls i would sort Jack's rear quarter for him, stop him bleating about it lol

I make you do it anyway
Love the job satisfaction when the paint goes down well and looks mint.
Give jack a slap that would stop him banging on. I really want to learn to weld but can't afford a welder
You don tknow how bad the rear quarter is, if stone chips an small dents annoy you then you'd have a heart attack if you owned mine

Rivet and fiberglass sheets over is the better option when using repair panels... the welded side cracked, I've tried to repair it again and its a mess really. I would highly recommend Riveting and after using both methods I'm not just saying it for the hell of it (thought weld would have been a proper job but its just turned out turd when the other side hasnt showed any signs of cracking and was a hell of a lot easier to shape).
Primer on the wing yesterday 
Going to paint the wing up and leave it till the weather gets better next year. Then ill spray the the sides.
Ive flatted it down, still needs a bit more as its still a bit lumpy in places where the gun splattered. Ill do that next week then get the basecoat and clear down

How come mate?
Ah no, love this car
2 months down the line, the old girl still hasnt been touched, so dragged her out this morning, after a quick jump start she started on the button first time, not bad for a old 1.4 spi that hasnt run for nearly a year.
Took some photos and now shes 100% up for breaking.

That's bad news mate, keep it tucked away you will miss it loads!!
I cant keep it tucked away any longer mate, i know ill miss it but needs must. Lots of blood, sweat and tears gone into it but the time has come now for her to go. Its now cheaper to insure the coupe than this, and the coupe hasnt put a mechanical foot wrong.
