Went over to paint shop today to see how she is coming on, hoping to get her back home on Saturday.
we reattached all the the bumpers rear wing and boot lid, having a few gap problems around bonnet and headlights to sort, but after a front end bump that was only to be expected.
just a few pictures more to follow as we progress.

Glad to see she's on the mend now.

I Got Ruby Rhod back home last night, still some jobs to finish her off but I’m well pleased with her paint work.
I now have to fit new front lip and the mesh back in the bumper. The paint dust under the bonnet is terrible 😢. I have a Refurbished set of wheels to go on once all the cleaning has been done and brake callipers have been painted.

Absolutely stunning mate 👌
 
Looking more like her old self.:thumbsup:

Lovely that, look forward to seeing it in the flesh again.

They should have masked the engine bay, takes two minutes with a sheet of polythene. Naughty painters!

Colour looks great!

That's a great looking job. You must be really pleased with it. :thumbsup:
Yes I do agree and if it had been any where else bar my nephew I may have had words, I did call him a scruffy B.
I’m pleased with it but one can always find things wrong and I have, but family rates I can’t complain.
 
Refurbished wheels have arrived, now I have to decide which tyres to fit, it certainly will not be Avon again.
I’m thinking Goodyear or Dunlop, I know every one has there own preferences but these are my two.
