hello all!

got some more of the floor finished today thankfully. could have done more but SENNA was on tv aswell as the rugby so that ruined progress a little

started with the steering rack bracket, all cleaned primed and welded on

than seam sealed it and proceeded to stone chip the rest of the floors

i also tried to build up a mock rear subframe but found that the infamous camber/tracking brackets are RUBBISH so ill be going back to the standard and then filing and welding to get the geometry right unless i can find a pair of KAD ones for a reasonable price.

pulled all the masking off the car today so thought i would show everyone where exactly i stonechipped (will be doing the inner wings aswell)

and on an unrelated note, my boss brought his mk2 mexico into work today so i got a cheeky photo (my old wheels and tyres may i add!)

arch closing panel finished ready for paint prep

small patch on the front of the arch

seam welded all the seams on the car including the sill seams

thanks for the comments adam and george91!

more progress today, i built upo the front subframe which will hopefully be going on in the next few weeks. got the brakes on and also tried a wheel over the minispeed 4 pots and they fit!!!

put a few coats of primer on the underside ready for the black soon, then the underside is finished.
