Steady progress not to rush between each process to ensure everything settled and solid base for next layer....

Looking good there, Adam. Can't wait to see the finished shell in paint, in all its glory.

Looking good :)

Has the proposition of rebuilding the car in the kitchen been approved by the boss yet ? As the wheels are already there it makes sense to move the shell in too ;)

Start with the suspension and have a copy of PET to hand. You'll find the first side is difficult and the second side much easier. And don't forget there's loads of people on here who can help - just getting the sequence right is part of it - there's a lot of clues on a number of threads. It is looking v cool :-)

Engine at the back btw

Hi Adam

I'd be interested to know the painters thinking on the colour of the underbody protection coat. I think I know the answer but I'd love to hear a proper explanation from a professional. Cheers.

Shell looks great,

Regards
Mike
