Cheers for that guys.

Yep iam catching you up Till

Anyway here is how she looks as of today:









Thats one of the worst jobs done, thats all the polyester rubbed down and then it was ready for the primer, which i did today.











Now that it is all primed its time to guide coat it then the very slow job of wet flatting it all down, hopefully it will be painted by next weekend

Yeh aint it, its suprising how much the paint weighs, you can see why rally cars are bear metal stripped and painted with the least amount of paint they can get away with

Cheers Twins, hopefully the next pics will be the bigest step with the shell finally being painted, then just the other million bits to sort out and paint
