Cheers. Hope to have all the etch primer, seam sealer and made a start on the stone chip by the end of this weekend, plus built up the rear subby and painted the tank.

With L2B not far away it will have to go in whatever state it is in, as long as it has an MOT.

I've always wondered at what point can you take a car to be MOT'ed?

Mike won't have carpets nor nicely finished outside paint, but other than that it will be sound.

More good progress today. Two key jobs for tomorrow are last step, and get underneath coated in etch primer and seam sealer, so it can be drying ready for stone chip.

Aiming to get the rear subby in by the end of the weekend, perhaps.
