I'm very impressed with the panel beater who is working on my MGA.
Initially he said the back mudguard was so bad, we should find a good second hand one elsewhere to fix, but he had a go at it over the weekend, and it's looking great now. Should be back on the road by this weekend.

Looks like you went to a real smash repairer, rather than those who only like to replace panels or use bog :)

Latest news.
The bumper bars would be too hard to fix, so I got a new set yesterday (made in Taiwan...)
They are painting the car today, it should be ready by Saturday (and my wallet will be MUCH lighter :()

Funny how bare metal always looks sooooo good when restoring or fixing a car up... As teK said, so many times you just get a bog, sand, paint and buff.

Here's hoping she'll look a million bucks on completion mate. :good:

Cheers
