well i got the car out in the sun today, sprayed the engine bay and boot and then sprayed a wing for a test panel so i could have an idea of what it would look like however its just one coat on the wing without the wing being sanded properly or primed.

thats it for today, tomorrow my plan is to strip and paint the top arms. then fit them to the front subframe along with the lhs hub and disc and all of the tie bars and lower arms, bump stops rebound buffers and subframe mounts. then all that the subframe will need is the rhs hub and disc then it goes on the car and it rolls !!!
