Stainless steel parts full refurbishing - Bopat - 12 Jan 2011
I bought my car in really bad shape, scratched, dents everywhere.
So I started to renovate and repair the stainless steel panels.
This is how I got the car.

After we removed the panels, we cleaned them and removed the dents.

So if somebody has something to fix, just let us know.
Unfortunately I will not have my car ready until Belfast, but I might fly there.

very well done, it's amazing what S/steel can put up with and still come back looking as good as new (if you know what your doing) keep up the good work.

We are working for 2 days now on this left side of the hood.
So far was brushed 100x, and it's still not 100%.
I don't have yet new photos, but soon it will be ready I will post it.
