Wow, you're either very brave or very, ah, nevermind. The car looks great, but whatever possessed you to undertake such monumental task? Did you do the work yourself? Some of us (OK, me), wouldn't even buy a pre-owned that has been painted just to repair a dent or a scratch. Please post more details of why you bought it in such state.

well some of have a budget to work to, it works out very, very cheap if you can buy like this, about 45% off the market value. but it has to be repaired properly, no short cuts at all.
