All masked up ready for primer:

Boot floor:

Wheel arches (after taking this pic I found some tape that was hiding in the engine cavity!):

Windows re-fitted, lights re-fitted, door and boot rubbers re-fitted and cleaned, full interior inc all carpets and rear seats fitted and cleaned. Here the paintwork has been fully flatted, buffed and polished. This is the cars current state. Engine bay will be getting done when the engine comes out later this year:

Very nice

Epic Ben

Most people's projects would take about 4 years to do what you've done in about a week!

 

[Russ Rallye]

Looking good, have you just painted it in your garage though and not in a booth?

Yup! There's no need to paint it in a booth, We have dust extraction in our garage which pulls the overspray out and I wet the floor before I paint to eliminate any dust blowing up. Look at the finish after it's polished! Who needs a booth, it's like glass!

 

[EllD90]

Well done mate, should be proud of yourself!

 

[Adz]

epic well done looks great :approve: keep it up!

[Aluco]

Awesome !!

Do you fancy spraying my cup spoiler ?

With payment ofc !

 

[T.Trophy]

Popped round Bens earlier to drop a couple of things off and had a look round his car, he's done a first class job considering the time scale and it's going to look spot on when he's finished.

Yeah, why not. Drop me a pm.

Heres a little more progress. I have now fitted the coilovers and stonechipped the rear arches and under the boot floor just to make it all fresh and new again. The wheels will be back from the powdercoaters tomorrow so they will be going on and the car can then be rolled out of the garage so I can get on with painting the panels. Im hoping to have it done in a week or two! It should have been finished this weekend but with waiting for delivery on the coilovers its held me back, heres a few pics:
