well the past few days have been spent on the driver's rear door but under all that paint layed some major set back's the bottom of the door is one big dint and trying to get it back to its proper shape has been a prick of a job, i polished all the chrome i have got and im not missing to many bits and the worst piece is the front bar and it came up ok...and its now on hold as i have cought some type of flu from the ekka that has hit me like a brick so no work and that meens no money ...here are some pic's of the door and other random pic's of rust repairs i have done.i took them yesterday...

and i was just wondering if i should keep this sign on....is it better to have it still with the car???????any help with this would be great..

cheers brett

If it were my car,I'd be leaving the original selling dealers details as is under the bonnet.

It's all part of the cars history and not a lot of them still have the original dealers details still painted under the bonnet.

But it's not my car so up to you as to whether it stays or goes,

My thoughts,

Swampy (wifes FB wagon) has a similar marking I aim to either save or make a stencil to replace. Cool as.

Keep the original, it's unique......

if you can....
It you have to paint over it, copy and re-stencil

Looking good, although I would have pulledthe window prior to paint. Less chance of scratches or paint chips.....
