I think it's pretty solid, only 69k miles and a previous respray that was badly masked up, but the paint is pretty shiny.
My tame panel beater has been very busy last year, with, among other things, a rebuild on a Dodge Charger General Lee replica including a new roof and lots of panel repairs. Anyway, he's finally free and got on with the job, so I thought I'd start a thread on it.
I'm sure I took more pics when I bought it, but I can't find them right now. Here's pics of the damage repair for now.
Apparently the previous owner's mum drove into it on their drive.
Needs a little repair on the rear arch as well. Not too bad though, and I have a repair panel.
It didn't have this dent when I bought it - I gave it a little nudge reversing into the barn in the Black ABF'd Scirocco #TW4T
So I spent a saturday stripping it out inside so that the panel man could get to the dented bits… and after he'd worked on it…
The filler is just the thinnest of skims - so thin you can see through it in a lot of places.
The rear quarter was fairly easy, I'm told, but the door was hard. If you look at the 'before' pics, you can see that the door frame is twisted at the back edge.
So I got some 2-pack primer on it to seal it up for now, and should get it painted as soon as I've repaired the arch - sometime in the next month.
I'm really pleased with the way it came out. Next job is to finish off the body work. The front engine mount has been bodged as well, when one of the captive nuts broke loose, so need to fix that as well. I'll get started once I've finished putting the daily audi back together - new front end panels, paint, and suspension rebuild.
