Tazet's 69 Charger.

Yes very chuffed with it so far. I now have a straight Charger yipee. All the creased bits of the legs have been tidied up too. They are the grey bits you can just pick out in the photos. Eventually we'll get there with a good base to work with as there was nothing I could do with it bent.

Thats a fantastic looking job Tanya. I bet you are well chuffed.

Before anyone starts trying to put the frighteners on you in terms of cost, just remember, that is a very tricky, awkward job you have had done there, it needs to be done right. That takes time, and as a big old fella with a beard with a badger living in it told me, time is a commodity we always ignore when it comes to cost. There are a lot of hours specialist graft gone into that, and you wouldn't get that done properly by bob the bodger on his driveway. The type of work you are having there doesn't come cheap. But it IS worth it.

People comment on the cost of my car - it didn't JUST get a respray. Thats the difference.

Well done you. Can't wait to see that one piece floor pan in there.

It will probably end up straighter than when it left the factory.

Clivey yes I know it won't be cheap and the money has been discussed thoroughly with John and I know I'm paying for the skill and yes it does take time. Labour costs are the biggest cost of anything.

Dave funny you should say that as that's what Andy, (my other half) said

Some serious work going on there

Just a little

and 2 fingers up to those companies that said it can't be done and to scrap it. It's taken 10 months to get this far, (not that time at Johns) You men know how stubborn women can be and I've stuck with it and will do until the bitter end whenever that may be.

Bananarama!

No, seriously, JC has even had the washer bottle pump apart and resprayed THAT. You can see your face in the horns, eat your dinner off the fuel tank, use the windscreen wiper mechanism to eat the food with - even the window winder mechanisms are pristine and they will never get seen again. You don't get THAT in the cost of a standard respray. Yep, its expensive, but a lot has been done - way more than I thought would be. But of course, If I gave JC a monkey and saod respray my car, he would have done it for £500 and it would have looked like a £500 respray.

Tanya, you are just a few moments away from a trunk floor and quarters. It gets addictive you know.

I bet you can't wait to plant yer right foot for the first time - I know I can't

True rich, the last few years has seen some absolute stonkers roll out of the workshop.
