    Had a quick hour after work cleaning the bay up and sanding it down ready for primer.
    Also bent down the clutch hole, its as far down and right as it will possibly go without breaking it so I hope its enough

    Need to pick up some primer and a bit more paint as I only have 1/4 litre and I'm more than likely gonna need more to do the whole bay and front panel.
    Starting to look like an engine bay now after a wipe down haha.

    I'll be painting the brake servo mount black with the other cover too so I'll just mask them off when I paint.

    Got a couple of hours done today.
    I've made my carport into a temp spray booth and to keep the weather off the car, I just need some kind of heater to heat up the carport otherwise I'm not gonna be able to spray with it being cold out.

    Anyway I've walked some gravitex on inner arches and inside the suspension strut where I've done the plates.

    Smoothed off the seams around the strut and chassis legs and even managed to get a coat of primer on, needs another coat or 2 though hut ill do that next week then flat it down ready for spraying.

    After I primed I forgot I hadn't cut a slot in the firewall for the harness to go through.......DOH
    So quickly chopped a piece out, I have some rubber edging from work so there's no sharp edges.
    I still need to cut the hole into the car, could someone help with where abouts it needs cutting.

    Looking good pal did you use 2k primer or cellulose? As for the hole I did mine near where the aerial goes through the bulkhead just watch the fuse box when drilling through .

    Lovely job. Surprised you're not removing those 2 bits from the bulkhead, only a few bolts?!

    I've always used 2k when spraying so just went with what I know .

    I havent taken off the steering column so the left plate won't come off without removing that anyway, I can get away with just taping them up so not worried about it.
    I'll clean them up afterwards and give them a link of hammerstein to make them look fresh

    I made my carport into a make shift spray booth and got some heaters in there to bring the panels up to temp for spraying.
    Managed to get a couple coats on but I didnt buy enough paint to begin with........DOH
    So need another 1/4ltr, ill get it during the week and do another couple of coats one night in the week as I cant do anything on it next weekend I'm too busy.

    But at last its got some paint on, didnt think I was gonna be able to get to this stage before Christmas
