All my cars were repaired write offs...then I used to spray em black. Had a couple of Minis...

Not sure...maybe October, November...you'll have it finished by then...

rubschin: wait a minute...didn't it just take you two weeks to change an oil filter... happy001

I take it you got a MiG welder and compressor then? or is a pop riveter and aerosol...

I can't afford complex stuff like a pop riveting tool - I was going to use self-tappers...  redface:

I'm thinking of subbing out the shell... I'll see how bad it is first...

We'll know in a week or so... hope for the best, expect the worst...
