Garry is now in Yate, he says he moved there to be closer his job.....I think he just missed the car too much and wanted to be close so he can see it whenever he likes!!

We're having a "car" day tomorrow and he's coming over if you wanted to pop over and join us.

May not be doing anything Prelude related, but have a list of things on both cars to do!!

Just a quick update, car is going into the bodyshop next Thursday to have:

Both rear arches cut out and replaced
Front bumper debadged, number plate removed and fully smoothed
Rear bumper smoothed
Aerial removed and hole welded and smoothed

Can't wait to have it back in perfect condition, then the parts refurb starts in the new year.

As I said on PUK, rust + white cars is anti-win. Glad it's getting sorted!

Been in to see the car tonight, one arch has been cut out and new metal welded in, almost finished shaping it.

Also about 3-4 inches has been cut out of the inner arch as it was THAT bad.

But hey, after all this work it will be beautiful once more.

He's also tucking up the inner arches, so should I want to slam and fit bigger wheels, I won't need further work to roll the arches!
