I've been driving around for the last 5 years not happy with how the old girl looks. Have been to more pannelbeaters than i can remember trying to get prices on pannel and paint. 95% of the time it was "Na mate only do insurance work". The other 5% was "we're to busy"  or far to expensive.

So i thought I'd have a crack at it myself took 9 days full time.I did get some shots of during the job but somehow delieted them :P

The colour is Barbados Green. From the HQ GTS.

Before....








After....











As usual when you do a job yourself there is a few things that I'm not happy with but hey it was was my 1st attempt at pannel and paint. At least she looks a little bit more respectable now.......
Aiways lookin 4 bits!

WOW!!!!  :o   :o   :o  That is a dramatic change.  Congratulations on the panel and paint job, looks great in the pics.  Would have liked to see the inbetween photos.

Looks like you've done the inside as well, any pics of there.

Well Done, Great job, do you have any photo's of the build up.

I suppose if it took 9 Days then you might not have had a chance to take any photo's.

Amazing effort!
