Wow, looking nice!! 8)  Why is the lower rear panel not painted?? :dontknow:

It is waiting for a tiny more stonechip and it will get more paint tonight…It is coming along well. It should be in the air shortly so the unerneath can get done too. The front panel is having a couple of the spoiler mounting holes welded and redrilled as they have become slightly oval over the years. even the lip on the bulk head by the vin number has had a little bit of tweaking too…nothing like attention to detail..

8O sounds like a real proper job especially for how much it's costing you

Im not sure it looks a bit like that but to be honest its a mixture of blues to act as a base coat before the helios blue goes on..
