Hey Owen, didn't get a chance to call you after to thank you, but I fitted up the fenders over the weekend and I'm really happy with them mate!

Owen turned my shitty arse banged up second hand rusty scratched dented fenders into works of art :D I had banged them out as a young eager drifter, using a ball pein hammer, a dolly and a lot of hope. They did the job in terms of clearing the wheels - but looked like total arse and were rusting quickly, not to mention that the metal was actually torn in a couple of places. Anyway, I haven't touched my car in about 2 years, and decided that I wanted to get it back up to scratch.

Check out the split in the metal from being hammered to their limits:

And after Owen and Wayne(?)'s amazing work (Please note that Owen didnt have the whole car, I simply took the fenders off and brought them to him, which is why the fitment probably isnt perfect):

I'd be WELL pleased with that, looks factory.

Yeah that was the aim, the only thing not factory looking about them is that they dont have the flat lip on the edge, but that's how i wanted them.

They've really done a great job here, beautiful craftsmanship :)
