As many of u know, spent a few quid on the interior and done the wheels and a couple of other things on the outside.
Early part of next year, i want to sort the body work out
The lower valance is cracked and a new one is 250 which is dear as it could be repaired, got quite a few chips over the front in the normal places and a coupleof small dents and scratches down the side.
Dont know weather to just get the front resprayed or put it in a paint shop and get a full respray
Money is going to be tight but any sugestions and poss costs or even a member who knows how to do it properly to earn a bit extra dough
I know im looking at a poss 4 number price ot there about

Depends just how bad it is and how "perfect" you want it to be.
First off, if you are on a budget, forget a complete respray. A reasonable to decent job will be waaay into 4 figure sums.
If originality isn't key then new GRP valances can be had for around £65, or if the one on it now is metal then it should be repairable with a few basic welding skills. A half decent local garage should be able to help.
A front end respray would prob be the cheapest option, but make sure you see examples of previous work before commiting to a sprayer as yellow is a ballache colour to blend in well.

Most importantly, don't forget your camera and keep us all up to speed with progress! ThumbsUp
