Right, a small update... progress has been pretty slow due to the house being on the market, work and all the other usual excuses!!!

The underneath of the shell was very tidy and straight so wanted to keep it this way by going down the Waxoyl route. I know for the best looking results it should be painted white but i'm more of a functional/practical fan (plus i hate trying to keep stuff clean!).

So a few layers of the black stuff will be used and if a job's worth doing its worth doing properly so that means the whole underside is going to be done, inner arches as well.

First all the rolling gear and brake/fuel lines were removed, cleaned up and painted... (only a couple of pics)





Then the underside could be cleaned more thoroughly...




Finished the 2nd Waxoyl coat today, doing another tomorrow, then the pics will follow... pretty pleased with the results so far though!

Also bought a few bits...

...a bit premature i know but i managed to pick up a good set of leather including doorcards (thanks Amy for letting me turn the spare room into a cossie parts store! x )... I sold her sun-bed the other day for a bit of extra room! ...






A big THANKS to Kev Sharp for all the help with the bits from
dovboy's big spec Sapphire; a top guy

From this i had bonnet (damaged in transit!), bootlid, doors, sideskirts, rear lights, morrettes plus more!








Although the doors/bootlid are all on and open/close ok they still need a bit of fine-tuning to get panel gaps spot-on but it'll be going in for fresh paint at the end anyway so for now they'll do nicely! (Although paint match looks pretty good at the mo but that's not in natural light! )

I got the morrettes but i can't decide what look to go for... either subtle with standard headlights and orange indicators (which is 'in' at the moment!) or the more aggressive look?! Either way i can always sell them again!

That's it for now...
