  7. I was trying to find a decent photo of it from last year. I can't honestly say I noticed the corner was off, but then I wasn't really paying attention.

    Just like my bus, mostly made out of filler ..

    I have taken to laying down fibreglass in the bondo to stop it cracking....
     
  11. Ditto, also found 70s accident damage which luckily removed when cutting out side arch.[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    It’s such a shame because these guys who do this are obviously really talented..... but with filler and not as welders. I mean, that amount of filler, for 7 years with no cracking and no rust on the panel underneath, and no idea it was there..... that takes skill.
    But it’s a lie, the job underneath the filler was shoddy, it was bodged up to make it look good, and you didn’t get what you paid for.
    Fair play though, the bloke was a good sculptor !!
