More stuff done today, as the weather is getting slightly better I've been doing some prep and painting, hoping to get the shell painted at the start of summer.

Bulkhead and dash rails inside primed. Been putting this job of for a while.



Stone chipped after except dash rails, plus did the floor pans.





A few brackets and new rear drums etched and painted.

Painted dash rails, a pillars and crossmember, going to brush paint internal floor black once bodywork and paint complete.
Not perfect but had enough need it done.

Few coats of paint to bootlid, going to flat it off in a few days and give it a couple more coats.

You're getting there, well done..... 

[cookie4343]

Flatted last coats of paint and applied 2 more coats, flatted this with 1500 and polished up.
Not perfect but got to keep telling myself this was never intended to be a show car.

Not flatted number plate recess as will be covered by plate.

Drivers side back to bare metal and prepped, still needs slight work but 90 percent there.

Etch primed.

Drivers door prepped, still needs slight filler work at top but will work around the whole car again after I've got it all somewhere near.

Drivers side door etch primed.

Passenger inner door frame back to metal and etch primed, ready for outer skin.
A few random pics of prep so far.

Abit of painting, doing this in sections for the first couple of coats then going to flat it all off and give the whole car a couple of last coats.
Wherever I put paint I'm happy with prep and so on.
