Nice Cage,

Is the car destined for road or track?

Shaun

cheers, it will be for the track.

started the prep work on the body today. i didn't relise how many dents there were untill i had to fix them. its the first time ive done any of this so its taking a while. hopefully i dont screw up when it comes to the painting.

can see the color difference here. the whole car will be painted the same as the engine bay.

getting close to finishing paint prep. still more to do but getting there

anyway all the paint is now bought. i had a last minute change of heart on the color though[^]

painted thanks to dad who managed to do it while i was at work today. got quite a surprise when i walked into the shed when i got home.

the color is the origional "mint glaze" green. the camera really dosnt do it justice. it looks alot more pale than it actually is in real life. cant wait to push it out into the sun.

Good chioce Scott. Has it got clear coat on it? If not are you putting it on?

Rhys

cheers Rhys. it has got clear on it. the photos were taken on the phone camera so it dosnt really show it that well.
Hopefully get some photos of it in the light soon

few more photos after a bit of a clean up.




also of the painted cage and floor



all in all im happy for a first time pantjob. just dont look too close lol. bit of orange peel happening and a few imperfections but it dosnt really bother me too much at the moment. only time will tell i guess
