It's not that bad:o the photo was taken the day i had it back from the spray shop, so it didnt have any bumpers on, that makes it look worse. With the bumper on, its about level with the rear edge of the bumper! :cool:

I bought Lou in Dec 2005, and she needed quite a bit of work doing, new wings, A-panels, front end, scuttle panel, rear valance, and a new skin on the drivers door, as well as some patch work on the passenger door and on the rear window and some minor stuff on the bulkhead. But apart from that she was in mint condition!:D
I didn't have that much experience with Minni's at the time, so my mate who worked in a repair shop, did a lot of the work, with some help (or hindrance) from me. The part that took the longest was the sanding and filling after we had replaced all the panels. We started work on her in the middle of January and finished in the beginning of march, but with work and other commitments, we only spent about two weeks of that actually working on the car in the evenings and at weekends. She looked really good after we had finished, but last November some idiot reversed in to her whilst i was in Sainsburys, and pushed the passenger side wing in. I fixed the minor damage straight away, but she needs another new wing and until funds improve she's got a few more dents and squeaks than i would like.:(
