Thanks for the advice Chris, I started with the sill which I've pulled the dent out on the side but there's one underneath which I think I'll leave as it isn't visible

I started to remove the layers of paint from my front wings and I though I'd share this - they've seen some shades

I've sprayed the boot successfully but I think I need a gun that has the paint above rather than a can beneath as I fund it struggles to pick up sometimes which made spraying the inner wings tricky.

As I had the last bit of primer and hardener so I thought I'd make a start on the seams underneath as I don't have the room to spray I brushed the seams ensuring primer gets in before I roller the whole lot

Hopefully I'll get this finished as best as I can with the axle on this week but I did wimp out after being greater by this when I got up today

Before I sign off a post on the general board got me thinking, this isn't a hardcore build or something concourse or particularly interested but it makes me happy and I appreciate the view counter going up at least!

So with that said I've been looking at superchargers as I still think the precrossflow would respond well to one! I'm looking at the eaton m45 preferably a mini unit but the Mercedes ones have potential but I'm trying to find out more.

I think low boost draw through to start and then if it goes well I'll wind it up!

Car looks great, interior looks really sharp.
