Mars red 83 GTI AHN 502Y

Shell is now in primer.

Next up is sealing the underneath then it's Mars red time!





Fingers crossed

I also bought I nice little trick mod Alternator adjustment rod which looks a lot neater than the original set up & far less faff ;-)

Shells looking nice, always good when it's all one colour

Oooo almost there, how cool will it be once it's painted - it's going to look amazing!  

Love the alternator bracket too, nice idea. I take it that there's no play in the joints at the ends?

Hi Andy
I know mate it's sooo close! starting to believe its happening now. yep tensioner is rose jointed at both ends and tension is adjusted with the centre bar and locking nuts. i think it functions a lot better than original setup…

Nice one, and it doesn't look out of place either

A few more progress shots:

Just been on the phone to the painter and underneath going to have sealer applied over the weekend then it's home run for some mars red





At least one little boy now getting very impatient!

I'm jealous   

Your son does look narked, best pull your finger out and get it finished for him
