Small update;
Fitted the fenders which came with the car but they're crap... So after looking for some time I found a pair of original fenders in the UK for a good price with some slight work... So last Friday we went over to the UK to pick them up Smile And voila... More pictures from the repairwork later this week... Wink

Wow awesome!
No more oxide red, I am sure that you MISS it very much Smile

So I guess filler and final prep is next. So you think you will put on color before the end of summer?

Hahaa, when I start missing it I just look the other side where my split is standing and immidiatly I have the feeling back! Twisted Evil

Yes, it ready now for the final preparations... But I'm afraid it will take a bit longer... Embarassed we're moving to our new home in 1.5 week so some work needs to be done there as well + in July I'll have an surgery on my shoulder (which will take me about 6 month to recover from completely ... says the doctor Cool ) So I'm hoping to have it painted by next summer... I think that's a good time frame Smile
