Fixing the Zed
 
So, earlier this year my house roof fell on my car :)

Pretty extensive damage to the bonnet, roof, rear door, and roof rail. It's been in a sorry state for most of this year, but now getting it back to normal. Thought I'd just show a few pics to show its transformation from fecked to good :)

Pics of the repairs

New bonnet from Goldie, originally from Andy's car. Still to be painted, although there is a Fast and the Furious look to it atm :)

Rear door. Was too badly damaged to repair and paint. So, new door. Glass from Goldie, swapped over original regulator and card (Got some help from www.kingsparkbodyshop.co.uk - was a ****** of a job :))

It's back in the bodyshop for some painting next week. Slowly getting there..


Update:

Roof rail and roof fixed and full respray.

New rear door, roof rail filled and resprayed

Bonnet dings removed and full respray. The garage sprayed the full bonnet, even underneath, so looks brand new. Still not sure whether I will end up going with MK1 or MK2 grille, leaving the MK1 on for now though for a change.

Thanks for Goldie for the bonnet, and Andy for donating it. Thanks for www.kingsparkbodyshop.co.uk for the other repairs and respray!

Good to see it on the road to recovery, was a shame when we saw the damage caused.

Smokey 29-11-12 07:26 PM

I was gutted when I saw it damaged! Are there plans to go a different colour when respraying?

Dan1971 29-11-12 08:27 PM

Quite like the bonnet a different colour .... I'm watching a black one on the bay just now for £60 .....

Glad you're getting it sorted. Said it before too - love the plate !
