Thanks a lot guys I am pretty pleased with it ..not done anything of this scale before. First time spraying a whole car with 2k paint, although its much easier to get a good finish from than cellulose …Its not perfect though lol. Nearly finished the sanding and polishing will get some pics up over weekend
Thanks

Evening all, Iv been busy again got the whole car bar the bonnet sanded with 1200-1500-2000 and polished back up its not perfect missed a few dents and got a few fish eyes shame prob me being picky though …got the steering rack and brake servo back in and all the brake pipes made and brakes bled.
Sides done
Wings done
Boot polished
Roof sanded
Polished
Whole car done
Brake servo and steering rack in
Few bits for the brakes
Made them as neat and tidy as I could hid the 3 way blocks under the servo
Put some P-clips on and wrapped the steering boot in foil tape to protect it abit more from the exhaust
Very specialist brake bleeding tool
Also got the rocker cover painted and the lines polished up
OH Yeah looks sweet !!!!!!!!
