So we have been super busy on the car! Motor and box is in the car, new diff also. Full loom is back in the car, had Ryan from OCD come and put it back in. He nailed the brief of it all being hidden in the engine bay. Can barely see a wire which was what i was after. All the fuel system and 90% of the plumbing is in. Engine bay is very close to being done also. Front guards, nose cone and boot/bonnet are due to turn up from flocoat any day as well as all the steering bits from the painter. Not tooooo far away from rolling. Those on Insta may have seen some of these already! But heres some shots my brother did before we started assembly.

Cheers mate yeh very happy with the outcome! Haha god dont ask me im just an engineer. the car was sanded and then 2 more coats of clear applied if that helps haha yeh cheers team ill see how it looks once back together but yeh straightforward to black that bit out anyway!

Yeah it changes alot depending on the light/environment which is cool . Basically paint it and clear it like normal. then sand whole car again and couple more coats of clear.

Cheers man its really nice in person in the sun too. cheers man stoked i changed from the car being black last minute haha. I did talk to painter about black door frames and he wanted to do colour (hes painted tons of these over the years so that was his thoughts) but def possible to change later will see what looks like once its all back together.

Got the shell and doors home this week ready to start assembly. Ended up flow coating the exterior so came up so good. Thing is like a mirror. Now time to put it together without scratching anything haha

ropped the car off to the painter early June and hes been ripping into it since then. Got the outside all primered and blocked ready for paint. Hes spent some hours on the block but its come up straight as! Once we got it prepped we got it up on the rotiserrie to prep and paint the underneath. Undersealed, coloured and cleared as well as up in the inner guards. And then it was time to paint the inside and exterior so back on the jig
