    Where did you get the origin front fenders from as well I can't find origin front fenders for the 32 anywhere. Thanks, car is looking sick and made me realise I need to make my front a lot more aggressive haha

    Well even though the car still needs a bit more work under the bonnet I decided the weekend just gone was the weekend to get it in primer. So up went our “paint booth” parked the car inside and did a stupid pose as my mate was trying to take a photo.

    9F620543-3E3B-44EA-8C28-E2B33E402177.

    Then a couple of hours later most of the car was in primer.

    64AECA61-C056-4AB4-AE22-1F760A975530.

    3B4EE446-8558-41AB-AC0B-94F14A89C3CE.

    52DEA7FB-0EFB-4519-97EF-F14DAE317B5F.

    39AA4654-F302-44CF-A2D9-07800889D1DA.

    F144446B-BE84-4510-B3BC-BC0E632F1867.

    Front wings still need quite a bit of work so the plan is to prime them this weekend coming.
    Get the whole car flattened off and maybe get the car in it’s full glory of the new colour

    Well, This will be the last update for a while as the colour is going on but yet there is still lots to do and no point showing a car painted with no kit.

    So I spent the weekend flatting off the primer ready for paint tomorrow (Sunday) because who needs a day off

    First job n was to prime the wings and place in the car.

    3C4FC2C4-2F85-476B-A761-35617D1759FB.

    With that done I then spent the he next eternity sanding the whole thing back.

    182DC22A-2D02-4641-A0DD-AA82B905B9BB.

    Now to just blow the dust off and sweep the gazebo out and paint

    It’s 100% not gold. It’s pretty damn good looking. The best it’s actually looked. As the guy above your post will agree. He got previews. Here’s a black and white and an idiot pose.

    7956DB4C-3F9C-4DFC-96DD-0944010A94F6.

    Sunstrip still needs removing. Well the screen needs replacing.

    Well, whilst I’m waiting on the bumpers to turn up and get painted. Thought it would be a good idea to get the final parts powder coated and get the manifold skimmed to make sure it’s perfectly flat (thought it had a slight blow)

    19A6251E-4513-4921-A1D1-AFB6A4C534D5.

    So rollcage, front and rear bumper bats off to the coaters and manifold off to the machine shop.

    I hate taking things back apart when I thought it was done.

    5987ACEC-4F14-4D2A-81E8-00D8B0908628.

    It’s also really difficult to take pictures without showing the colour of the car. But hopefully in a few weeks the car will be finished and all will be revealed

    So couple things have happened. Everything came back from the powder coaters

    20C54395-0526-4BCA-8F10-75690CBCDE25.

    And got some of my aero and got it test fitted

    5CCC15A1-E2D6-4450-A502-AA70F5D4CAA1.

    It’s now only days away from being complete so I kinda have motivation
