That does not look in too bad a nick. Good luck with the work, if it all goes to plan there could be a few "new" A's at Billing next year.

Cheers ....plodding on :D

Are them wheels 17s, I think they would look better in silver though or maybe just the outer rim in silver with a contrasting colour on the spokes, just an idea :thumbup

Hi Ray they are only 15" with 50 profile and im thinking black with the blue flek and colour matched centre caps.Got to use then as had to buy wife a set for the mx (50 on ebay with tyres shush)and fit well :D

Well a week of welding turned into two months thanks to previous (repairs?)being a total botch job.Repaired front valance with half a sheet of steel and a roll of mig wire as couldn't bare to part with money.Got all the welding done ,underneath in stone chip and body coloured.Will bang some pics on tomo :thumbup

Looks absolutely fantastic thumbsup.gif Great project !

Also i think that this project really shows that even though the car is looking like its in good shape, this is really the right time to strip it down, and give it a makeover. Waiting will just make everything worse wink.gif
