X-Taxi 472 Posted May 13, 2013 Hi everyone! When we bought this car it had I bit of damage on the rear wheel arch! The bloke who owned the car before us got side swiped. He bought a new front guard and purchased the front door, mirrors and chrome strip from me. He striped it all down then painted the panels and reassemble it all. He thought after his operation he would take it to the panel beaters to finish of the rear quarter panel. Unfortunately he died on the operating table and never got to finish fixing his pride and joy. When I bought the car I made a promise to his wife that he left behind, I would get the car fixed and back to its former glory. So I took the beast to a good friend of mine who owns a restoration work shop called Fully Steeled Restorations! https://www.facebook.com/fully.restorations?fref=tsThe damage! I took these pics the second time I viewed the car! 1 judgetread reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He also hires a spray booth and a another bloke to do the painting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
