Bananarama! man! You are brave letting someone do that!
Or did they not tell you the truth?

At least your plates wont have suffered

Any photos of damage, how much?

Hope she is sorted and you are happy with the work.

Broken

and

fixed

the photo has a shadow on it

the top trim is not buckled thats my shadow..

all fitted quite well

given that the stuff i handed in for repair was quite bad in the first place

the grill is spaced out a little at the bottom.

it was the only way we could get it to fit and still leave access to adjust headlamps

i could never adjust the headlamps previously as the grill srround got in the way hence better this way

lights ar aligned in both planes for the first time ever.

i.e horizontal
vertical apart from adjutsmnet to dipped beam spec
and one side isn't further forwatd than the other....

i need 1 new RT sticker for the passenger fender
my previous one was under clear coat much to may annoyance and of course for the new paint to be cured the car went into the heated cell which caused the vinyl to sweat
so new sticker will be applied over the top.

work included

replacement indicators housings + detail
driviing lights +detail
rebuilding light supports
lead soldering and filling pin holes in replacement nose
repair/beat and weld original undertray (charger specific which i didn't relaise)
replacement grill end castings (+ paint and detail)
replacing grill (2 tone paint and detail)
replacing grill top (as above)
replacement grill bottom (as above)
panel beat and repair grill steel mounts
spraying bonnet
sparying both front wings up to graphics
spray nose cone
spray undertray
spray rear valence
spray ding in upper rear 1/4
+
i had a bit work done on lower rear 1/4

all in all happy

I have up for grabs

a VH Undertray (later small hole style)
some indicators
some grill bits
some lights bits

all part of purchasing too much and spending the money i earned from the shoot on trying to get the best bits i could.....and then another comes along etc

What was that cart made off,still looking good now

Dave999 · Post by **Dave999** » Tue Jan 10, 12 11:57 am

it was basically a solid staircase made of 12x8 inch blocks of Oasis fllower arranging foam. soft when expanded Rock hard plastic sand when compressed
with polystyrene boards on top

i was lead to belive it would be 4 pillars of poly, with boards on top

too windy

and approx 50 KG more fruit

there was 1/2 a transit van of fruit veg flows plant pots melons etc on there

akin to hitting a person at 50 MPH.
