Update....
Had to sort some welding out on the floor which I missed but all sorted now, so today I've mounted the opening rear quarters and tomorrow I'm going to start rubbing down, in the next couple of weeks it will be BLUE!!!!!!!!!!
No pics from today got stuck in too much

Right, bit of an update (not done one for a bit).
Shells in primer now ready for its top coat saturday. All being well it will be just right for witson, so I can start the rebuild.
Piccies.
Hopefully see some colour on it saturday.

Its sprayed!!!
The paint job has came out a 1,000 times better than I expected (just needs cutting back now), only 2 paint runs which will be easy to take care of.
But at the end of the day its came out fantastic.
Let the rebuild begin.
Pictures speak a thousand words.

well done Paul, I bet your well pleased,... hopefully i'll be spraying my Mini this week If i get a finish anything like yours I'll be happy, but i'm not using Celly so it's a different ball game.

Thanks guys, yeh, Im really pleased with how its came out, I think cellulose is a fantastic paint to use and you can work with it to get it to shine!! I would choose celly over 2k any day .
Started the rebuild today, got the loom in, top dash rail and sound deadening, looking great already.
