Thanks Iain, I agree. Ill be picking up some stonechip tomorrow to be used on the compressor. This was a 'test' if you like to see what it came out like. I have heard good things about gravitex so will go for that. Seems pretty good money too compared to cans of stonechip.

Got some kore bits done today. Rolled the arches, fire extinguisher fitted, safety pulls fitted, hole in battery tray sorted and aerial hole in roof welded up.

Will be rust proofing these before paint!

Checking clearance between arch and tyre without any suspension

Bulkhead cut ready for 20xe loom

Brake servo hole cut and washer bottle bracket removed. Will be relocated on bulkhead by heater.

Finished the day by starting some bodywork.

Aero catches now fitted to my lightened bonnet too but forgot to take pics of that.
Gravitex ordered and hopefully should be here tomorrow so I can prep the underneath.
6 weeks 5 days left to go!

Hopefully it won't! It will be sprayed and sealed by next week.

Thanks zeifer33 You will like the next photos if you like details...

Is it much lighter? No, not really... Does it look cool? Yes. Job done!

Yeah I think Im going to have the rear axle and front components powdercoated blue and the tank grey maybe. Ill decide when I get to the powdercoaters.
White or black cage? That is the next decision. The dash will be flocked black and the seats are black. Seat belts are blue.

It's a proper little swage tool we've got, 2 pieces of metal with a bolt through basically.

Cheers for all the positive comments, helps the self motivation a little!

The car is going to be a Sport replica, so will be polar white with the sport graphics.

Been busy today...

Also did the heatgun trick on the front bumper. Left side of the photo is done, right side of the photo is old and manky.

Floors and rear arches all now in primer. Next couple of days the topcoat will be going on the inside, underneath and under arches. The outside ia being painted in an oven in the near future.
