Thanks, I hate prep work!!

The Fester isn't mine, it belongs to a mate. I'm just sticking a sill on it and a bit of other welding.

Its quite sad really that I was enjoying welding up something that wasn't a mini for a change!!

The final colour choice is "Black Tulip"

Its a really dark purple, he's gonna have a black roof with a grey leather interior.

I reckon he's gonna look spanking!!

No pics, but I've been busy sanding and filling this evening.

Car looks exactly the same just there a load more filler dust on the floor and in my lungs than before!!

Filler work is just about complete on the shell/passenger door/bonnet now.

Another evening of sanding and finishing will have it done.

I've then got to go over the shell and remove the last few bits of paint.

Next its a clean out and dust off ready for etch primer.

Flat the roof off

Stay tuned folks!!
