All

Finally decided to go ahead and overhaul my LE...

New Cybox exhaust - sounds fantastic

Cambelt overhaul and new thermometer - L&M did a great job

Went in today for full respray to look as new - Bodytone, Berkshire

Will post progress photos...

Wow, I bet you wanted to cry when you saw it stripped down for the first time.

Looks like they are doing an awesome job though. Very thorough.

Looking very good, as Cabbie says, thorough! If you don't mind could you pm me (message) the costs for this?

Couldn't quite believe it when I saw it stripped apart - back seats out to get the side windows out! All lights being redone...sanded by hand...into oven for primer for the weekend and 3 coats of paint next week followed by 2 of laquer...after shock of seeing it in bits got quite excited by how it will look next week!!

Looks great. Only when you see the car do you understand how much work goes into a full respray and why the cost can be high.

I see you havent taken the back light cups out. Few seconds with a heat gun and they pop right out.

Must admit the red looks fantastic when it's newly done - worth the wait!

Looks really nice. Should get my Coupe resprayed too, because some idiot has resprayed it very badly some years ago. Costs around 2000 to 3000€ here in Finland :-(
