Some better pics

After cleaning up all the floor we painted it with red oxide then put some seam sealer on all the seams









Then after we had left that for a few days to dry we painted it with 2k black











After we done that we went to a local machine shop who supplied us with some box section so we could make a trolley for the car so it was easy to work on and move around the garage.





then got the car off the spit and onto the trolley
