Closer she came,
step by step,
inch by inch …

Pat M & Autosmarts Autobody
Off to yet another autobody shop with the help from the previous (EPOCH 09) body shop owner for which I was very grateful.

Progress is promising.

A few bits and pieces collected to drop off at the body shop.

More bits and pieces to the body shop.

Work progresses, but the EPOCH 07 body shop lost one of the spat locks (among a number of other bits and pieces) which was replaced from one of the usual vendors (in England) with something was not even close to fitting. When the vendor was contacted, their response was that is all they could get.

New spat locks ordered and arrived (after the second try – first shipment was lost). These were from another vendor in England; a small specialist shop.

The photo below is from the vendor’s website. The photos above are what actually came. No match. The vendor said I could return for a refund at my cost. Shipping was more that the spat locks – anyone need spat locks that do not fit?
