Cheers! the bonnet and roof was painted last night, hopefully get it all polished tonight and fitted up, ill get some more pics up as soon as its done. That only leaves the two bumpers, grille, spoiler and sideskirts to paint, all of which need only a scotchbrite to prep them for paint. So hopefull the bodywork will be finished in the next week or two, then i can get on with the fun bit, the oily bits...

looks like nibs in the bonnet but its actually dust and crap from polishing
i had the garage doors open the day and had a good look at it in the sunlight, there is still a couple of flat bits needing machine polished, but i will wait now until it is complete and i can get it outside on a good day to see it properly, im quite happy with the car soo far though.
