sub frame all preped and seam welded will prime tomorrow lunch time and hopefully paint back of doors, door shuts'

back of boot and bonnet tomorrow night

I have to hang doors' boot and bonnet on to paint as imperial blue is very transparent colour even with a under coat so i need to make sure it is all the same colour.
