The Bodyshop 2: The Return

Today I returned to the bodyshop and had a look to see how the 'light restoration' of Lennon is getting on. For people new to the scene, it's worthy to know that a 'light restoration' is usually a term thrown around when you buy a car to get in and go, later to find that it's a bucket of rust and with minor sleuthing involved, you hold your head in your hands as the list of problems rack up. Using the term 'light restoration' is communicated to your peers to cover up the ageing, stress, and dwindling finances you experience whilst buying a classic car.

Never fear, the wrinkles are here so it's worth biting the bullet and seeing how he is. I bought over the usual treats such as grapes, branded biscuits, and Calypso drinks (horrible kids drinks in the UK) to keep his blood sugar up. 

Now for the layman's technical terms, he's doing alright but Lennon looks awful right now as the team at the bodyshop have found a ton of rust and about eight tons of filler which has since been dug out and new metal has been welded into the car thus eliminating rust for a while yet!

Here are some pictures of Lennon who looks considerably worse than he did a few days ago, is now doorless, and has probably been ragged around a field before starting work on the car (last claim is outrageous and uncertain of validity).
