Oh and just to add… I’ve found a new body guy here in Northampton so front n rear bumpers and sill covers going to him over next little while. I’d love to get them painted all at once but due to money it’s not an option.
But hopefully by spring next year she’ll (he) be cruising once again ready for FOTU 😎
Is he reasonable on cost?  Given Mrs TheBoy's recent shenanigans - which fortunately this time I think will polish out, aside from the lights which I've replaced already - it's good to know of a decent, near-ish sprayer...

That’s a lot! lol

Bumpers r costing me 150 cash each. Not sure how much sill covers will be but I don’t anticipate a fortune.

it is .i had my omega done 5 years ago for 1 1/2 but now they say it would be 4 grand so yes it's nice to find a cheaper place providing of course it's done well and they don't use cellulose or any of that fangled water based crap !

Thanks all.

I got front bumps off today ready for transporting next Saturday. I’ll let u know how it turns out 😃

Meanwhile I’m steaming on with the work. NS arch liner off and the surface rust is nowhere as bad as the OS. Mainly it’s round where the holes are for arch liner clips. But nonetheless I’ve done first Bilt Hamber coat. Now a coat every evening for a week and then paint. 😃

Hey boys. Not bumping this thread but just an update if anyone interested (probably not ).

So front bumper and sill covers off to body man.

Rust treatment and painting finished on entire front end.

Rust proof/paint sills. Then refit everything on receipt. And then can get on with the rear.

One thing to say if anyone is interested (and sorry if I’ve mentioned this before) but this stone chip paint I’ve got (green n black can, made by autotek or something like that) leaves a darling lovely finish!
