With engine collection being imminent I decided to spend half a day on the car !
Got the rear quarters pretty close now , just a bit of sharpening up to do .
All that’s left is to make the skirts and rear bumper wider to meet the additional width of the quarters , shouldn’t take long !
Hoping to get some paint on her over Xmas

Decided to go in on a Sunday to fit it all back up as I couldn’t wait to see the car pretty much all one colour for the first time in ages

Had a little time on the old girl today .
Going to crack on getting the bay ready for paint now
Had to chop my tub to make some space for my turbo ha ha ha just so I could rotate the housing more and have the outlet going at a similar angle to the tub in order for the pipe works to run parallel to the chassis leg up to the intercooler . who wouldn’t make their car fit their turbo eh ha ha










Always have to crack a beer after a day on the old girl ha ha few and far between






Will be getting on prepping and smoothing the rest of the bay now so hopefully be in primer soon then can finally start getting some colour on

Amazing work as always Chris :notworthy:
Cheers mate !
Pretty happy with how it’s come out ! Shame to have had to do it but will make a nice feature ,
Considering using some of the gold heat film in that part to contrast against the gold paint
