Good to them practising on your car hehe

Mine needs a respray after catching it on garage door .......be good to see in flesh, and they might have another one to do
Funny you should say that Hoover I have had a PM from a PH member who is not that too far from me asking the same and one of our local Mid Essex TVR Club members. Only problem is it would have to be fitted in when there is a free period between doing our own vehicles (we make large specialist vehicles, mobile television studios etc). Rgds, Pete
well looking at the prep, and the like, your boys would put some body shops to shame

Update..............

Arrived back at work this morning and the guys have almost got everything back, see pics below:







Boot lid in final mopping down/finishing stage


Paint finish/detail around boot recess:


Detail/Finish around door opener (note polished push button):


Superb sealing around headlight covers:



The front grill under the number plate will get a light coat of silver to give some detail, new sealing rubbers have been fitted for the doors. They have painted right under where the exhausts exit so at a distance all you see is the blue not the black finish. So hopefully take her home tomorrow.

Next the interior retrim.............................

Latest Update.................

Griff is finally complete this morning, only issue was that the N/S rear indicator did not work, needs new bulb when I get her home. Really need to get the interior retrimmed now as is does look a bit shabby now, but that will have to wait.

Some final pics of the Griff out of our paintshop:



You cant really se in the photo but they have paint the front grille silver, looks nice

Very impressed by the speed and the quality especially when combined in this way!!! (my reference is my almost half year lasting respray/retrim/modification/uprgrade-process that i am currently undergoing......)

Wish you many happy miles with it!
