Cheers Paul, its going yellow i think, and the car at the mo is metallic silver

Boot hatch stripped of rear sceen, wiper, washer jet, locks/handle (Going to be pinned) and excess metal... Can't believe how light it is now lol

Also stripped down both doors, removed all windows etc and are ready to be lightened too.
No other pics, but been very busy with the old sandpaper and sander! Got inside all rubbed down, and outside keyed up.
Removed and stripped down steering column to be rebuilt with my snap off column.
Finally ordered a new N/S front wing too, should have that by Monday. I need to get hold of all the clips and bolts to fasten both wings to the car so if anyone can help me out see my wanted post :D :thumb:
All boring jobs mate (I'm currently doing similar) but wel worth it. Keep it up.
Tell me about it lol!Quote:

Bonnet and bootlid both prepped too, with all badges and catches removed as the bonnet will be pinned.
Massive thanks to Steve and Olly for giving me a hand getting stuff prepped
Some pics courtesy of Olly to come... (Cheers Pal:) )

and steve did the bootlid, after he gained some energy from his KFC bargain bucket, consisting of 10 pieces of chicken, four portions of fries, and a 2litre bottle of tango... aint a clue where it went, as he can't weigh more than 9stone lol
