yeah, it is not the first time it is in the bodyshop, i have had 2 prior jobs done, when i saw bubbling starting on lower doors and lower rear quarters.
The doors where repainted including mirrors, and the rear quarters where resprayed up to the body line.
I also had them take out the windscreen and inspect the sealing surface since i was getting droplets in the car on heavy rain, to my shock they said that all that was holding the windscreen in was 2 dabs of white putty on either side, they used modern window sealant and glued the front windscreen in place and also rust treated the sealing surface, resprayed the inside part of the cowl panel.
And i have re-done the endura bumper twice. (people love to lean on the bumper it seems.)

And 1 week after i re-did the bumper, i get stuck in a roundabout as the fire department had a an emergency , all traffic stops, and the lady in a BMW x5 freeze up as she is blocking the path of the firetruck trough the roundabout and backs into my newly painted bumper......
the guy in the firetruck frantically signal to her to get out of the way, and she takes off letting the fire truck by, while i have to wait for the whole fleet of emergency vehicles to pass. In that prosess i dont get to meet up with her and i have to take another round out of my pocket for the bumper...
