[lunalupi]

Oh, don't worry - some smoothing is already taking place Along with a few other little touches I've been meaning to get done!

 

[jenk]

Latest update from the bodyshop, in pictures

 

[Triple D]

Now that green looks

 

[lunalupi]

Stop saying that! You are the 5th person now to say it looks cool multicoloured.

Its going reed, the green just doesn't work with the white alloys....or the ones I'm refurbing black!

 

[Boo]

Its my cars twin I tell you

Hey its all in a good cause means there is one less Green metallic one on the road !!!

 

[F2 Stu]

Slighty puzzeled, would it not of been easier to take the good bits from the red arosa to the green one and not fork out for all that straightening/bodywork/paint?

Or have I missed somthing?

 

[lunalupi]

You've missed alot - I paid £400 for the green one, and you can tell why. There's rust on the rear OS arch, front NS pillar and on the leading edge of the roof. The engine squeaks like theres a mouse city in there, the clutch is going and it handles like a boat Plus it failed the MOT and needed work doing.

Mine on the other hand is exactly the same age and milage, has not one spot of rust, has a custom exhaust fitted, coilies, a really good engine, passes his MOT with flying colours everytime and is generally in fabby condition!

Plus its mine, and I'm rather attached to it.....

 

[F2 Stu]

Didn't realise the green one was a shed - as you were...

 

[lunalupi]

Arosa coming back on monday, arosa coming back on monday!

 

[Boo]

Wohoo !!! They did that quickly !

 

[gazjones]

that is really quick!
have you thought about putting the other engine in the back

 

[driveforward]

That was a quick turn around, make sure you post up some finished pics

 

[lunalupi]

It was quick - its because he only has a small workshop, so they get one car inside and work on it till its done, then get the next car in and so on...!

I'll be sure to get some nice pictures for everyone! Can't wait to have him back

 

[lunalupi]

And the update at the end of today:

And look at that shine - no stone chips!

Only one day to wait until we're reunited!

 

[Boo]

Is that a smooth bumper I spy ?
