It has been a week since we took the mini, and I haven't gone to visit it as I was a bit busy. Hopefully tomorrow [20-2-08] we are going to the sprayer and see the progress and take a couple of pictures of the car =D.
So today [14/3/2008] i made a visit to the sprayer. The paint from the car was almost all removed. Also the panel beater fixed several places where rust had eaten away completly all d metal. I got a little surprised when he started shownig me the parts where he had to fix, I never tought there was so much rust undearnath, hidden by the paint. Hopefully wedont get any more surprises.
