James, the pedal box was gash. It was so rusty. Plus I got everything done that unbolted from the shell. Even the door catches for fucks sake Slightly annoyed that they wouldn't do the fuel tank. And I should have asked if they would do the brakes, so hammerite will have to suffice.
£35/wheel and £30 for tyre removal and refitting.
Most powdercoaters should do wheels, as you are a bit far from these guys.

Oh, would like to give a shout out to ATS in Beaconsfield again for doing an excellent job with my tyres on my 18"s again. They are such tight tyres to fit and they did them with no problems

Hehe It should be pretty shiney when it's done...
We were rubbing down all the bodywork to get it all to perfection last night. Just did the side skirts because they have ripples and the rear quaters where there was some sinking in the filler.

Hell, I need you. I'm a mess without you. I miss you so damn much. I miss being with you, I miss being near you. I miss your laugh. I miss your scent; I miss your musk. When this all gets sorted out, I think you and me should get an apartment together.

The spider was about to pop a million babys out of it's ass so we had to get it out quick! I wanted to put it on the electric fence, but Tom didn't
I'm really pleased with the wheels too, they have done a good job on them. I'm going to get the roof rails powder coated up too as an experiment...

It's miles from being finished, the join where we cut it in the middle is a bit pissed and needs working straight, but it's on the bumper straight. Also the edges of it are far from being finished too. It's a bit messy at the moment
