Next up were the front inner wings shell and panels, along with the engine bay, the inner wings had the same treatment as underneath, primed, raptor sealed, painted and lacquered. The primer and...
Cheers, fresh paint is always so nice lol

Thanks, blocking primer looks like it sucks lol I've always wanted the underside of mine doing and this was the best opportunity, get yours done if you have the time even though no one will ever see...
The battery tray scuttle area was also painted at the same time, this didn't need to be perfect as will be hidden anyway but looks really good....
Starting off with the shell it was put back on the jig and masked up, underneath was then primed, raptor sealed with the non tintable stuff, I did it this way as I wasn't sure if the colour would be...
The engine was also primed at the same time as all the final niggly bits had been picked up....
Everything was then primered including doors and all the panels and all the small bits hoping to get some colour on. The order of all the bits to get painted was the shell starting with underneath,...

The arches were reshaped and tidied up with the doors on too correcting all the swage lines on the whole car, everything was then polyester primed, looked nice just being one colour for...
Thanks coming along nicely now

A lot work was done on the engine bay first, both legs were fibreglassed and smoothed along with all other bits in the bay having the same process, the full engine bay was then polyester primed then...
I know what you mean, I was thinking that at the time but it's only a small section cut out then re strengthened with the pipe and welded back up so shouldn't change any strength to it really I would...
Thanks, it's getting there

When I'd previously had the rear disk setup the cable sat to high from the beam so when running the car low it was rubbing on the chassis and never really worked very well, so I've decided to run...
Sorted some more bits out that I wanted doing, started with strengthening the wish bone arms with some 3mm plate, cut them to shape, welded in and tidied up before a prime and paint.
I also sorted...
As the shell was off having work done I built the engine up which is further back in the thread and also got on with cleaning up the tank from the previous silver It had on it which had partly peeled...
So, getting to the good bits now, I was pretty sure on the colour already but wanted a tester doing as in loads of pictures I had seen, the colour looked loads different in every picture.
I donated...

More of a catch up update again, so the car went off in the condition below, I made up the trolleys for it to go on and made it easy to get around the spray unit etc.
Prep work started on a few...
From there decided to see if the other side was the same although this looked a lot better shaped I still imagined I'd have the same situation and I did.
Everything was cut back and replaced with...
Everything was cut back way more than what normally would be cut back just to get to the good rust free stuff, both inner and outer arch was trimmed back, a new inner panel was then welded in, the...
I know, proper rushed bodge job, I didn't have a clue until it was all cut back

It was ridiculous, garage was covered in dust after it was all off haha its all been cut out and done now just a lot of catching up to do, need to do it all in the next few days but looks a million...
