    I have done it both ways!

    The problem with having it painted as a rolling shell is that then it sits around for x years getting dirty and scratched whilst you put it back together.

    Thats ok if its gonna go back together fast.

    With the Rocco, I have got it all running and registered then I`m gonna paint what shows.

    At least then I get to enjoy driving the new paint.

    haha...i thought if Alex can polish a gear box housing then i can do 4 door locks.

    Also, if anyone has a front left wing panel thats is straight or even needs some minor work then let me know. Im going to need one as I have some damage on the point near the bonnet that is unrepairable (big ass chunk of body gone! ) I reckon. Will post in the relevant section anyway
