That's quite a difference on the gold car Matthew.
Here is a shot after further painting! Regards, Matthew T.

Yes, absolutely. The shuts and lines are probably better than when it left the factory!
Quite a head-turner. Brilliant job :)

I think TBH the only new paint was on the front offside wing and rear nearside door Chris, with more recent welding on the sills! Regards, Matthew T.

Unlikely. The body was built by robots with incredibly accurate alignment. Panel fit wasn't an issue on any new Citroen since the 1970's.

Another first for me... Glow plugs changed today, wasn't as difficult as I thought. Schoolboy error tho... The feed for the glow plugs wasn't connected resulting in it not starting and me scratching my head....

I remember when I did my first glowplug change. I was dreading it due to other people's experiences and knowing that glowplug four is very tight against the pump. But it was very straight forward in the end and I actually really enjoyed it! ;) :)
