chris mk3 325 Posted May 26, 2022 Quick visit to the body shop, bit more blending, lots of coats of filler primer onto the repairs, I'll flat these next week, then give the whole car a coat of white base , look for more imperfections and re flat Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfrace 116 Posted June 4, 2022 Looking good. Is that a mk5 front subframe giving you the camber? Considering using a spare fl subframe on my pfl because I have a bolt stuck on stripping mine, the top wishbone pivot. Can’t get the f***er to shift. Maybe see if I can get it pressed out as a last resort unless anyone has any ideas. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chris mk3 325 Posted June 5, 2022 Thanks lads, it's going Ermine white, it's a MK3 subframe, I just haven't got the tie bars on at the mo hence the race camber ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
