How long will it take me to put it all back together?!

Love that paint job Paul.

In a pinch, or to test the look, you could use something like spray on electrical tape to hide the factory colour behind the grill. That way it won't affect your nice new paint, and can be removed easily.

Thanks mate. The colour changes under different lights but I like it in all of them so far, fortunately!

The car arrived home last night:

Today the rebuild started. I had the opportunity to change the colour of that part when I had to deconstruct the front a little before I could start building it again. But, being on a deadline I decided to press on and get the mota on the road.

Here's the progress I made today. I started at the front...

I tackle the front and rear screen tomorrow...

My mate came over yesterday to help be put the front and rear screens in. It did not go well! No damage done but hours wasted. I rang around a few people in a panic this morning and am very pleased to say a professional will be at my house tomorrow at 08:00 to fit them.

The build is going well:

It took 2 hours to put the driver door glass in and 30 minutes for the passenger side. It took a while to get my technique right!

Speaking of body shops, anyone know a good one in Birmingham? lol

How did the rest of the rebuild go? Did you get it finished in time?
