He has'nt done mutch since he's crashed my car. We've been looking in to why its smoking so mutch and its either the turbo or valve stem oil seals. He's got alot of customer jobs on at the mo.

Got any pictures you could post up of how its looking now(even though nothings happened), like were it is resting now?

An update of it just sitting at its new owners home is an update really as it looks sad on the back of that lorry

)

First time doing it and I was more than happy with the results but I might do my bro's BRM turbo the roof ceem's to smooth the roof so it doesn't crack.

Al finish off with filler it's abit easier to use and shape lol

They all go there around the sunroof, a right pain to sort.

good to see someone using lead instead of bloody p38! Its becoming a lost art.

Cheers mate i want to start using lead for 75% of repairs on my motors, like i said first time using it today and wasnt as bad as I thought so will be using again since me and my bro own rovers lol

hehe, well you'll be needing it a lot...

Fancy practicing on some honda arches? Once I get rid of the half ton of filler on mine I would love it to be replaced with actual metal

For a first attempt that looks damn good to be honest. Keep it up.
