Right then im not gonna let this beat me, i carnt sleep without thinking what a beast this could be. I now am armed with what my brain is telling me, it's saying ill be a mug not to finish it, so i have a few tricks up my sleeve, some off the work i have already done that im not happy with will be undone and then
re done to better standards.
To be honest i wish i never started deseaming this because it's become a nightmare but i have an idea, it's a secret lol, work will defenitly be started again
tommorrow and progress pics will be put up so watch this space.

Also can i ask a mod a favour, could you please delete my post with just in them and just a general quik cleanup, thanks mods.
Oh and sorry about my english abilites.

Yesterdays progress.
I decided to start on the shuttle panel.
What it looked like before i started.

Front roof gutter pic before i started

Removed paint and filler already on the shuttle and passenger a post, also finished deseaming drivers side a post.

Stuck some of this to shuttle corners and both a post.

Pics of this applied.




Repaired front roof gutter in middle of screen, this took me the most time to get it somewhere close, pic obove of before.
front of repair

Rear of repair, this wasnt easy to clean up behind the gutter.

Pic with some chemical metal applied.


Just need to do lots of sanding now, gonna have to invest in a electric sander, as my compressor to small for my DA, comments welcome.

Anyone wont to take this away for free before friday night, collection would have to be evening time.

Could be a good base car for a rear engined mini or trailer, will come with v5.

Forgot to say, bare shell only.

I Made it to difficult for me to tackel and also just brought a clubman witch is staying standard.
my mate wonts it but i thought id give everyone a chance on tmf first, it's not getting scrapped, so if no one wants it ill keep it stored for a few years.
