Probably half the issue, though if you're going to get it professionally done anyways I don't see the point in spending a ton of hours/money getting it looking right.

Maybe the photos don't show the full picture, but it looks pretty sweet as is from where I'm sitting.

I would suggest that now you have cut the original bar to size on the inside that you glass inside and join it there as well. Will give you some additional strength.

bolted on again, put it back on so that i could fix the cracks in the bottom without struggling to get it to line up once they're fixed, will also fibreglass the tie wire in while i'm under it, once the sun goes down a little further

IMHO try and get as much sprayed as you can at once, they may give you a better price if you were to only say get your bar sprayed.
Thats what a panel beater told me anyway :) , suppose it depends where you take it and whether you know the person!
Cars looking good, it just really needs its bits painted haha :wink:
