I've seen a couple of others about Lincoln in the past few days, made a fool of myself waving assuming it was one of you 2 though, lol. Red 197 I see quite a bit too.

A little update first... Primered the whole shell the other night as youve seen, so set about flatting the primer back on the inside and the engine bay so that they could be painted first Nathan lending a hand, hai! Back in the garage for degreasing and masking...

I've got quite a story to tell shortly. MegaLOLZ will be had, mostly at my expense. Any guesses before I post?!

Yep as said, not keen on the rivet and plate look, and no other viable options really other than to swap the whole skin and that wasn't happening. Flatting back primer tonight and hopefully inside and engine bay will be painted at some point tomorrow. Yawn.

Cheers all :) Daniel your comments never fail to make me larrrf!

Prep work is THE most tedious job on the car to date. Fortunately I've had a hand from Squibby and Riley but even so, yawn! :sleepy: Anyway, after a few long nights losing the will to live it was about done. The car in its prepped state ready to go: Got rid of the aerial...

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] I thought the same, looks awesome though!

Sorry, felt like we'd achieved nothing so didnt bother! Tomorrow. Fair bit more sanding done, looks about the same as when you left though. Effort!

Yep, majoroty with an air sander, the more awkward places by hand.

Stop being silly and worry about getting yours done, lol. Maybe slightly OTT, but I'm not short. Yep, same inside and out :)

Thtop it! :o Cheers :)

Fair bit done since the last update a few pages back. Finished the passenger door 'X' and made the drivers side too Added an extra bar across the very rear of the cage, along the boot floor Cut the old seat rails out (with fairly mixed results) Outer skin plates for new...

Last night..... nee naaa nee naaa, £60 please Sir... Oops!

No need, I have torque :rasp:

I'm averaging 29/30mpg with pretty mixed driving, I only got 32/33 in the 182 so not a great deal of difference really.

I had a 182 for just over a year, now got a 225 Trophy and mega pleased with it, certainly can't see myself swapping back.

All off.
