I am a happy boy.

It looks like a great weekend for a topless drive in the hills (after  
a week of much-needed rain in these parched parts ) AND I PICKED UP  
MY CAR FROM THE PANEL SHOP TODAY!

For those who missed the earlier sob story, I was rear-ended near the  
city the other week.  Luckily it was not on the racetrack so the  
other guy's (girl's) insurance company paid the $AU4,500.00 bill!

This is the second time I have had this little panel shop work on my  
car and once again I am thrilled with their workmanship.  There was  
plenty of beating, cutting and painting to do.

I have put a couple of images up for the world to see.  Pardon the  
grainy images and the colour differential between pre and post panel  
work shots (it was getting dark when I got home so the "after" shots  
were taken with my phone camera).  She really is that deep blue  
colour but the quality of the workmanship shows even with the grainy  
phone pictures.

Lots of prep still to do before the next big event - but I am a happy  
man right now and I will be off for a decent drive tomorrow!

Here are the pix:
