OK lets do a bit of a for now wrap up.

Some engine bay shots
Posted Image

Hard at work
Posted Image

First block of the outside
Posted Image

When i was getting ready to flick a bit of black back around the chassis and diff where i had been playing around i found some rust in this little support thingy, so fixed it.
Posted Image

Then i sprayed underneath, finished fitting up the brakes, and a few other things i dont have picks of atm.

The car sat idle for ages, but finally i decided to roll it outside and give it a good wash so i could start again.
Posted Image

Then i blocked it, then reprimed the car and blocked it again
Posted Image

Finally i rolled it back outside for a real good clean in prep for the spray booth i had booked for it.

These picks are from Australia day this year, over 3 years after the first picks in this thread were taken.
Posted Image

Once again that was all the picks i could post at once, more in 10 minutes or so...

Cheers.

Some more pickies.

Sorry for the stupid amount of picks, i decided instead of belting on about how great i am and how fast my car is etc etc it would be best to just stick up the picks and let you all make your own damb mind up.

The day/night i got her home. Sorry no picks outside in the sun yet.
