1000Coupe Please explain: good progress there, make sure u use rust converter and fish oil or similar on the back of the panelsover a wider area than the plates u have put in,
The "oil" part please; is this some panel beating magic. I'm feeling quite dump here, as far as my knowledge stretch, oil on the surface of parts that needs a spray job is bad.

Ok, I was really pissed off with the panel beater coz he was meant to have test sprayed an area & waited for my go ahead to spray the whole car. I think his partner was getting impatient coz my car has been there a while now.
Ive attached some #OOPS#ty pics that i took with my phone:
there wer a couple of things that i still wanted done like blanking the hole where an alarm switch was fitted on the passenger door, etc....
what you guys think of it?
