so doors and arches fitted, I've put a seal between the arches and that seems to have altered the position of the lower split arch so some fettling to be done and one of the threaded mounts in the drives side arch started turning as i tightened it up and left a big bubble in the paint so will have to repair it and repaint and fix a bit above the rear screen where i burned through with polisher.

Looking good, just read this thread from start to finish, you've got to be proud of your work!

so managed to get the rest of the bits and bobs for the exterior primed and painted.

 

front light surrounds and window wiper arms

 

 

Bumpers

 

 

 

wing mirrors and rear light housings

 

 

and of course the rimz

 

 

a wee bit of advice for anyone wishing to change the colour of their wheels:  pay someone to do it for you, painting wheels is a pain in the hoop!!!

 

that should be all the painting done now!!!!!

Oh, ok, you just smoothed it all in.

it's starting to look a lot like a Trimaxion Drone Ship inside   

 

 

 

for anyone wanting to know how far a bulk pack of 2mm silent coat goes, it will do the entire roof and inside cabin from parcel shelf to cross member.  

 

I've got another box to do the boot, door skins, and front floor and bulkhead.  Is it worth doing both sides of front bulkhead and rear seat back or is that just a waste of material?

why is it when you put cables in a box they tie them selves in knots!!!

What did you work out for the radiator?

What did you work out for the radiator?

 

The rad comes as part of the kit and is mounted on the drivers side, you can see it in the video (its got a bit of plywood taped to it so the fins didn't get damaged.)

Good milestone to start the engine up.
Nice idea with the choice of exhaust looks like a decent fit and something a bit different.

I should add that the vid is from Sept last year before i took it out again to paint the car.
