Well done Micky, A great project to take on.

Looks like the tow bar saved the rear from a lot more damage

Mickyboy · 15th July 2016, 10:32

Thanks everyone I would put a thanks under your names but I've run out😟 Yeah the tow bar did help a bit but not a lot, as the damage went down at a angle, come Monday and I might be able to update a few more pics, but in the mean time here is some silicon to deal with lol

Sir you have my utmost respect and I envy you being able to do this. I simply do not have the skills for such as bodywork not the tooling.

Hi Mick,

Good to see that you have made a start on it already, it would be good if you have pics of the boot floor before you started pulling it?

Tom.
