Update:
Im halfway through bodywork.
Hope to have bodywork fairly well complete and ready for priming next week sometime (best case scenario).
Still waiting on my replacement floorpan to arrive to weld that in.

Still hunting round for a drivers side replacement door trim (black, full vinyl with chrome work)

Oh and Shea yes I've got an XE lip for it.

If the front bumper/grill goes black,so should the rest of the car.
I still love the standard Matt Black Rs2o0o bumper's,With a standard colour.(Nothing worst than a White RS with Glossy black bumpers)
If your after a flamen job?This look's trick[:u]

Good going mate!

Will be interesting how you go applying white without a booth etc. as white doesn't hide all the bugs, dust etc

Will be watching with interest.......[:x)]

Whole car (bar the nosecone) has been primed and wet rubbed, will be done again either tommorow or next week.

I've chosen the colour - 'Glacier White' which is off the new Toyota Hilux, as it's one of the cleanest whites I've found at moment so should look a whole lot brighter and cleaner than the original Sno White, well atleast thats the plan.

Should look good. I'm interested in seeing how a very crisp white will look. My Sno white RS looks like someone pee'd in snow next to my white Fiesta. I think the new pearl white from the 2006 Subaru Liberty's would look great on an RS.

how close is this to being on the road now Rhys? ive got atleast another 3-5 before i get it started i think

Rhys,
Prob longer than that at this stage. I've been busy with work, and next week I go back to Uni.
I'll keep working away at it slowly. Hopefully not too much longer after yours.

RS207,
Thats a nice way of putting it. I've found the same with Sno White, so good chance to change for me.

Rhys

cmon mate i recon theres some more to tell on this project...

yes im intruiged

Nothing great to tell.
I'll have motor out tomorrow and finish welding firewall. Have had rims sand blasted and powder coated ready to go. Pic makes them look white but its 'Silver Pearl', it did come out alot lighter than paint swab showed though, pretty sure I picked a darker colour[:I]
