Title: the mothership... back from the bodyshop...
Post by: humbucker on 08 September 2008, 16:12:01
those of you who have read this recent thread (me vs the council ARRGH F&*ING GRITTERS!) will know that the mothership finally went into the bodyshop last week to have the front end repaired and resprayed following an argument with a council salt spreader:

picked her up an hour ago and here are some pics. bonnet, mirror casing, drivers door, both wings and grille repaired and resprayed. theyve done a really good job and gave her a nice clean at the same time! see what you think:
