So, sanding and filling the miglia. Do I go the whole hog and fill it/beat it so it's shiney and straight or leave a few creases and dents for history's sake. The car was rolled and presumed written off but was rebuild and jigged back to straight at longbridge prototype plant!! Opinions please I think history!

If you're having it matte then I would leave the dents.

Why don't you restore it to how it was pre crash?

Look at the thread, it was in a road-sport guise when he rolled it, then he built it to a full racer spec, then put it in a barn for 30 years. When we dragged it out I loved the look so much, you just dont see it at all at shows, I want something different, something with history. I already have my super shiney show car clubman, this is the other end of the scale;)

Haha I didn't really know what to do! They must either own a classic aswell, or in denial.. :P

The trouble with being flashed by a bini is you can't tell if they're being friendly, something just dropped off or there's a speed camera ahead!

I think because I used it daily for 4 years it makes it worse because no other cars compare lol

Problem is its being stored outside at my uncles house which is an hour drive and my dad can only weld it in his spare time which is basically never :( I'll wait years more if I have to but doesn't half suck, especially as I'm starting a new job working for a classic car parts company so makes me miss it even more!
