Well, true to form, the car was on the spit until resprayed, which took place at the beginning of November 2011.  It was then taken off, and put back on the lift, for building up.  Currently at the time of writing, in January 2012, most of this work has been done.  Outstanding work is the bonnet, which was left until last, and needed a new front edge, inside and outside, which has now been done, and final fettling for spraying is underway. The sunroof has been dismantled and new front and rear frame sections made, ready for reassembly.  Another couple of weeks will see the job complete hopefully.
