Mopar Muscle Association UK

Only a couple of shades off Guy...good by my standards

Just wanted to get a few layers of something on it to stop it rusting. It was the red primer or gloss black so the primer won in the end

Looks great , well done, very ingenious with the flanges to weld up to.

Looks good, nice repair

Very impressive work Steve and it looks very good finish.

I know where to come for my next welding job.

Thanks men...to be honest, the low res pics make it look nicer than it is but I am happy with it. Just needs a little bit of fine fettling to finish.

Had a result with the screen....Kingsley at shipmycar has been very helpful and secured an insurance payment of just under £500 towards the £650 it cost to replace. Im happy with that....£150 is much easier to swallow than £650!!

Cheers Steve

how much did the shipping insurance cost then steve ??? or did you not even know it was insured ??/

Hi Dunc...I ticked the box for fully comprehensive marine insurance when I booked up, it was £37. Luckily, I had before and after photos and to be fair to Kingsley, he was very helpful with sorting it out for me. Took a few emails to prompt it along but got there in the end

It is good to see a happy ending Steve, it is worth insuring the transport and it is nice to see its result.

How easy was it to find the screen here.

Believe it or not Ali, Peter Jones had a brand new one in stock!!!

I rent a garage to store my Polara but that isnt suitable to work in as the tenancy agreement is just for storage. At least I get a suntan when I work on her (or frostbite )

I bet your neighbours love you.

Ha ha...yeah Mick. Thankfully, i work shifts so I do any noisy work in the mornings when I am on lates and the neighbours are at work

Had a relaxing couple of hours with the autosol couple of nights ago. Front bumper has come up lovely! Ive taken the headlamp surrounds out for a coat of satin black as the original finish is very worn.

While I was under there, I noticed that the front valance has a few parking dings on it so I stripped it out today. Ive knocked the various bumps out and started stripping it down for a thin skim of filler and paint. Im concentrating on the bodywork while the nights are still light.

Cheers Steve

Keep at it Steve!!!

Will it make Rockingham???

No chance Pete....lots to do still Pete so aiming for Spring next year. Seems a long way off but thats a realistic goal to be honest

cheers Steve

This is going to look great when its done !!
