Nice work mate i will drop mine round next week.
Ive got stone guard in white tho.

lol lots left to do still, want to slap another coat on top of that yet, was aiming for MOT before end of April to do the png track day, but I've got to MOT the passat in April, so best do that first, also don't want them both to be annually in the same week!

Looks fun, are you doing all that lying on your back under the car?

That red oxide stuff, is it just like etch primer that you brush on?

Coming along nicly.

Rather you than me doing the underseal stuff. I bet you end up coverd in everything but the kitchen sink lol

At least your shell should last a good few years. Every little helps? lol

Well it's been raining on and off today, so not committed my self to working on the car, might do some more tomorrow if there is less rain.

I did how ever manage to get another coat of under seal on both side of the floor pan :)

Might yet give it another coat, but i also want to do both the front and rear arches yet, and the front inner wings.
