good luck with your bonnet, this is a wrong thread to seek help on a Japanese car bonnet....This will not be possible for me as 1) I am not in this business and I have only visited Shershah once in 5 years, 2) I am going on a holiday outside Pakistan in two days and will not be around for sometime.

@Mohsin sahab
Have you visited the VCCCP thread? Someone has posted a beautiful "Sharknosed" Graham, claiming it to be in Pakistan.

thanks...I just did. Amazing discovery if this car is indeed in Pakistan...personally I dont think so.

notmuch to report on Splitty as only two doors are left for denting, then the whole car gets a lookover, some finishing here and there. I have run our of patience with Muntazir as in last two months, he has only worked on the car for about 10 days ....I would probably not get the finish on the body that I wanted but then one has to compromise on so many things when you are getting work done in this environment.

I got busy and was mostly away from the country. My denter instead of finishing work just abandoned the splitty and started piling up parts of other cars all over it. This is despite being paid lavishly for his work.....now I have put my painter on it and he is finishing piece by piece brnging the panels to 'ready for final coat' position. I have given up on the idea of having the steel finish as the workers are just not geared up....If I am not on thier head they dont work the way I want them to work. So my focus back on splitty ... lets see how it goes from here. Your comments welcome....once I start uploading pictures from today.

Welcome back!

thanks...I hope I get to get him motivated somehow....these guys are like lawyers, the get the money out of you and then make you run after them to get the work done

some progress....all four fenders have been dented, finished and primered. Next step is to put them back on the car and complete the process of paint. But the problem is that the body still needs denting and Muntazir is busy working on Toyotas and Prados. I am quite fed up with him and my painter and may fire both tomorrow.

some pics taken yesterday and today
