Also the engine bay is almost back to bare metal. Hopefully will have the engine bay and interior sorted in the next couple weeks so we can move onto high build priming.

Doors, wings and front panel filled. Still only thin, wings were new and genuine along with the bonnet so both in pretty good condition.
Next up is polyester primer, high build then colour!

Did you take the new wings down to bare metal? I'm wondering what to do with mine as they come with the coating on already. Also, are you having it sprayed with the wings on? It's what I want to do but not sure what to put on the wing where it bolts down to the top of the inner wing. I don't want any corrosion in there.

mk1jamie - Cheers pal, it's a crazy amount of time and effort but if you have the space definitely worth it!

Big step this weekend, raptor is on! All new seam sealer so it's good as new. Insides of the wings in the next couple days. Should have the engine bay in colour next week as well so hoping to progress well in the next month and wrap up paint.

You're cheating though, doing it with the car upside down! You have to have only a few inches from the floor on axle stands and crawl underneath the car.
That way it goes everywhere and you have to throw away your clothes and get a load of hair cut out to get rid of it
Cheater!
