The body work was in shocking condition and it had been resprayed at least once in the past. Filler and bits of paint falling off everywhere was great fun painting it.

Cool :mrgrn:
I'd of had a go at straightening up that rear bumper with a FBH before you painted it though, or is it just the pictures that make it look p*ssed?
