i filled any dents etc, sealed all bits of welding, primed whatever needed priming. then i sanded her all up and prepared it for paint
so now i have got underneath, engine bay and 2 wings painted a very nice shade of diamond white
and literally just finished there now lol
also ive got pics of my driveshaft and crossmember (horrible quality tho
)
and a pic of something special i bought for the bootlid, also horrible quality lol

another biggish update got the outside of the shell painted and it turned out really well, then i demasked the car, stood back and said 'oh yeah' 
lol
after that i brought all the wiring back into the engine bay and boot floor, got alot of the wiring into place with memory lol, and started building the engine bay up a bit,
tonight i began flatting and polishing the paint, so far i have the d/s wing & q panel done, going to be a slow process and i might even redo them bits as there is still some orange peel lol, but we shall see.
anyways now for some pics
