Quite a bit of rust there hey mate, What is it with GSI'S? nearley everyone i've seen has been nackered. Gone a bit OTT with the underseal havnt you? would have sprayed it with stonechip or painted it tbh, underseal can trap water under it and encourage rust, you didnt put it on with a brush did you? good luck witht the rest of it tho, looking good with the new rear quarters and wings and doors.
how'd you mean? could have gotten away with just a new door tailgate and a cheapy wee arch repair panel but no point doing half jobs.Quote:

more pics...
started "feathering" the inner wings and turrets to save time in the paintshop so ended up having to seal them up to stop moisture getting at them in the meantime and ruining the work, numb fingers! ideally we should have done the whole bay at the same time but only really intended to give them "a little clean up" the rest can be done later as the finish doesn't have to be as smooth.
the seam-sealer looks pretty awful but will be much better looking when painted :cool:

and a familiar face stopped by for some inspiration! (some of the older guys may recognise as "Nova Cane" from the 90's Max Power)

Good progress there - Gary's old Nova still looking tidy as well, wheels will take a wee while to get used to :)
