Got some more done this weekend, finally finished all the welding/prepping/seam sealer tubbed the front arches
not the best photos



then barcote the whole underside and finally primered





next stonechip!

Stonechiped the underside but had a reaction issue in a couple of small areas due to me stonechipping too quickly after priming so took it back off again now ready to start again really coming together now just struggeling for time with work and silverstone this weekend

Hoping to get on the mini this weekend need to get the engine bay primed and get on top of the stonechip issue too,

Woooo Hooooo

Stonchip DONE
Engine bay PRIMED
back to taking steps forward again
2 coats of stonechip on her belly now i used the upol Gravitex, also found out to do light coats as i pit it on too thick on one rear arch and it also reacted badly very temperamental.
photos to come just need to prime the whole underside again then thats ready for paint but before that i will turn to the topside exterior the most important and difficult part!!! looking forward to it very time consuming!
