That looks like a quality repair job your doing there. No messing about trying to repair it like some people would.

Great work!

It a big job, but we do our best ;)

Nice repair, good to see someone taking pride in their work and doing it right.
Cheers Ben

It looks okay, but can't really make much out on those tiny pics:wonder:

Proper cut and shut job, done really well and looks tidy:thumb:

Looks perfect again, Top Job on the repairs & VIC check was a breeze

Glad we could save her :)

While fitting used 1/4 isn't something we like to do. Sometime cost dictates what you do.

All in all she's come out well. Even had a quick machine polish and wax to revive the rest of the body ;)
