Right enough of the bollox and on with the build....

After the prime up i wanted to sorted something before i painted it so i cracked on with the job in hand which, was fitting the rear turret/suspension top mounting locating type things as so

This is what i had to fit

I drilled through the first skin and in to the second so the weld would hole the top mount on and the two skins together

Welded them on and cleaned it up

Then i got on with the fun filled task of rubbing down the inside of the car - after the prime up had came out so well it was a bit disheartening rubbing it all back....

And this is after many hours of ball ache - hasn't turned out great but its not terrible

With the inside of the car now ready to start being put back together i thought i would crack on with getting the cage ready to fit

i built it all up and rubbed it down ready to be panted

then hit it with some matt black

some mid paint shots

And the finished result

Much better now and it will look really good with the green imo.

To fit the cage i obviously needed the car back on its wheels so to speak but before i flip it back over i needed to sort out the strengthening plates (2mm btw) for the lower panel as its easier to get to them with the car on its side.

So i cleaned the area up

http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...ndseats217.jpg

http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...ndseats218.jpg

Then welded the plates in place and drilled the holes out

http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...ndseats222.jpg

http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...ndseats223.jpg

And gave it a quick acid etch

http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...ndseats224.jpg

I could now flip the car back over and get some better pics of the paint inside the car (i will make a better effort with the outside :roll:)

http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/g...ndseats226.jpg

Its not that bad really - i fitted the black pugs back into the floor of the shell also
