More GREAT work by Mark at VDub Resto on Hatty

[1958 Harry]

Mark at VDub Resto did some work on Gems '70 bug this weekend, he's done half the work so far, undersealed it, welded up the bodged rear engine tray corners, stone chipped under the bonnet, and fixed the leaky windscreen.
In a couple of weeks time he's going to being replacing the rear body mounts and welding a dodgy patch up under the rear seat. and finish off undersealing the backend.
Once thats done, coupled with the brand new heater channels it already has we'll have a totally solid car.
Some pics of the work so far:

As usual the work Marks doing is top notch and decently priced, I had a good look at the other projects he's doing and the work on them is top notch - he's getting really good results painting straight out the gun as well, the camper in the booth looked mint and it hadn't even been flatted off yet! He's also done a full respray on my mates Honda Prelude which looks absolutely perfect, that needed a bit of welding as well!
I cannot recommend him enough, he does fantastic work, is concientious and honest - which is rare nowadays.

Yep, once the rear body mounts are done and that crap patch the guy welded in on the rear arch is all sorted she'll be super solid :D

We are gonna waxoyl her as well once the works finished, and fill all her body cavities (as much as poss) with dinitrol to keep the rot out :D

Yeah Marks a top bloke, he's done all the work on Harry, and is doing the work Hatty needs, there isn't anyone else I'd trust to do my dubs (or any other car for that matter). :D
