Rewritting as internet is bad today...

Work restarted yesterday...Muntazir now working on the heater channels underneath the sills...they have been cleaned, rust proofed and panels replaced.

Tomorrow he will complete that followed by patching the spare wheel well.

After this work, the body will be refinished piece by piece and painter will put a protective coating to prevent rusting.

Once body is refinished, Muntazir will start on the floor panels and the frame while the painter will start on the body. Meanwhile, mechanic has overhauling the engine and should complete it by the end of this week.
