With the rear arches done, most of the body work was good enough for the task, so just required a quick rub down ready for paint. When the previous owner had the car he had it painted white, but I fancied something a bit different. Given that the car is going to get scratched, scuffed, knocked and abused, there was no point at all in having it painted properly, as it would soon get ruined, so I fired up the compressor and got busy with the painting. It is far from perfect, it will never win any awards, but it's come out pretty well to be honest, and the majority of the car is now resplendent in Ford Signal Yellow:

Then the reassembly could begin, refitting windows, lights etc...

Next step for the outside is to finish off the front wings, and paint the bonnet/bumpers/skirts:



The inside and roll cage has been painted Frozen white (as with the engine bay), and is now starting to come back together. The A-pillars and front part of the cage are satin black to help avoid glare, and the dash is now flocked (after being chopped up severely!)
