just got 134 out of the garage for the winter and book it in for a full respray
the bumpers are coming off and front wings along with the doors, bonnet, boot and the glass
so it will be looking amazing for the comming show season
its going in next week so i will get some pics up then

[Leighton]

Hi mate, how much was it if you dont mind me asking? only mine is in need of a total spray!

[Spike]

thats a proper respray!!!

My bodyshop didnt half moan at only taking the bumper off! (lots of bolts & screws!)

[big g]

te price is around the £1200 mark
i will be taking the bumpers and wings off myself but the body shop is getting the rest done

[Spike]

not bad, mine cost £880 for it all except the roof & tailgate

[PG12]

also looking for a total respray (on top of fixing rusty arches/sill and a cracked rear bumper ) - may as well get the whole lot done at once if it's going to be off the road for a length of time

you guys also getting a courtesy car? (it took Pumabuild 5 weeks to respray my frp 2 years ago - absolute joke)

thats an extreme strip down..

Is it being taken by lorry to the spray shop?

[Big Boy Al]

blimey gaz how comes all the interior is coming right out, you having all inside resprayed too???

[happy-kat]

you don't win trophies for having the best paint

as with Al, why the interior out? or is that to protect it

at a guess id say to protect it, cars get so dusty when prepearing paint for spraying even when masked up,

wouldnt wanna get the dust all over them lovely frp seats

i'll be doing the same when i get mine done...damm good idea...

as said, paint places are VERY messy places... lot of paint particles floating around all over the place.... altho, i have to say i wasn't going to go as far as removing the floor carpet...a good idea tho.... you can give it a good clean while it's out... lol

loking forward to seeing the pics...

are having the rear quarter glass removed?

Chris

[Big Boy Al]

yeah its a good idea, i suppose it depends if your having a proper full respray or part respray, when i had mine done i didnt have the inner door sills done as they were allready good, or the rear bumper or roof.

[big g]

not having the interior resprayed but ive taken it out to protect is and clean up a few bits that need doing , also find the small water leak aswell.

i know you dont win prizes for the best paint but if its gonna be done its gonna be done right.

yup im having the rear quarter glass out along with the windscreen and boot glass
