The plan was changed on how to tidy up the chassis leg, to keep them both looking the same, this was done.

Then

Now they are both straight and the other bit have been plated with 1.5mm thick metal so they are strong as funk.

Cleaned the sills off to, nice a clean. Bar a lil bit of surface rust around the drain holes which was treated while the floor got fully sealed.

While that was done, the engine bay was primered.

Looks smooth to me...

Car is so dirty tho, it hurts me.

Back at home, i get a coat of "filler primer" or what i call sh*te over the servo.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...idepaint12.jpg

Don't buy "filler" primer from Halfords its not worth it. Re primed at the body shop, flatted off.

Going with bumper grey...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...sidepaint1.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...idepaint25.jpg

Think it will work, but not 100% yet.. Might go blue with it... Thoughts?

Tank is the same bumper/trim grey.

Halfords filler primer isn't high build primer, Its like body filler primer.

Coming along well, Be even more awesome once this stage is completed.

Filler primer to me, means it will fill sanding marks.. Guess i'm not seeing it the right way.

Cheers dude, tank straps are being made pretty ;) so should complete the grey tank.. New braided stainless fuel lines to match that.

Damn mate, that's some work you've done there. Servo looks good in that colour. Halfords filler primer is a right ball ache takes absolute ages to dry properly and paint over.

No it's just sh*te.

Hoping the servo looks good that colour, was thinking about blue..

Chassis leg/underside was dealt with very nicely fella and Id be very happy with that. Im sure it will look fantastic painted and you will put us all to shame this year! On another note I wouldnt do the servo body colour as you need something to break up all the blue smooooooooothness in my opinion. ;)

Nick.

Agree with Nick J dude. Needs other colours in the bay. Would look too blue even though it's a lovely colour.

They look straight as now, and i know there is nothing hiding under them as i've looked in them..lol Mirrors planned for billing....lol

That is the only thing putting me off painting the servo blue..
