Seems the old girls bum lift is going well. Popped into the garage doing the work today and they where more than happy to show me the car.

I've posted some pics for you all to see, will try and get some more infocus ones this weekend.

Regards

Wow, that does seem to have involved a fair bit of work. Hope she's out and about in time for the next CB meet!

Hi Iain.
Why have they removed the front bumper? Was that damaged as well?

Took the words right out my mouth.

I thought it was just a rear ender?

Front bumper is being repaired as it was damaged by the recovery company when they loaded it onto their truck! I told them before i left the car that it was very low to the ground and would require longer ramps, but i guess they didn't listen ho hum......means i get a nice repaired shiny front bumper..lol

Iain,

Looks good on the repairs. A few guys here in America where quite impressed with the piccies before and after ( especially the re-design work on the Alfa !! ) Word from the wise though, make sure everything that gets fitted is proper OE parts, remember what happened to my S40 when the repair was done with cheaper non OE parts.

I will have to try and get some piccies of one of the cars here, there is a V70 AWD with a few trick parts near the testing ground here in Baudette ( carbon fibre 'r' us and some rediculous 19's or even 20's on it )

Catch ya when I return.

That'll be costing someone a few notes

I love seeing damaged cars getting repaired. We saw a rusty 360 (due to bad previous repairs) getting a new sill this week, and it looks great. Mine needs some similar attention in the next year or two.

You do indeed need to get some better pics

cheers

James
