Thanks man I’ll be honest when I started it I started it with the attitude of worst case I’ll pay someone else to do it. I don’t think I would have gotten a better finish by a professional. You would only know it’s been repaired it I told you and you looked for it. Having done it I would say in terms of difficulty. I’d put it at 4/10. It’s very time consuming though. And having to put up take down a gazebo was a ballache definitely would have been so much easier if it fit in the garage ! I’ve definitely learned so much along the way. I’m happy I got the tailgate rust bubble sorted while I was at it |

Considering how banjaxed the panel was . I’m super happy with how it turned out . I’ve always stayed away from bodywork, if your using rattle cans probably best not to have a go. But if you have a compressor defo worth having a bash as it’s small money for paint |

That is an excellent job - just wondered if you tried going through insurance or not especially if a third party damaged it?

I had a rat get in and eat all my centre console loom and about 5 wires in my main loom and the carpet earlier this year. I didn’t know the damage extent but new it would be big bucks so called insurers - they took it away and the king and short of it was in brand new parts it needed two looms and both carpets so they wrote it off.

So had a couple of hours to spare today , the interior has been left to fester as I was busy doing the bodywork etc … well the amount of dust that was in the car did a proper clean out
