Seeing that the roof had been made and it fitted the car it seamed fitting that with all the bodywork done that the car should have a splash of paint.
I have not seen the inside of the car but have been told that the roll cage has again been painted but this time correctly and the inside has been given a coat of some description, not too important as it will be all covered and not seen.
When I last saw the car it was in the booth ready for paint the next day, with the windows having a paper fill I couldn't quite believe how small they are and how much the car has been chopped, all I can say about it is how happy I am with it and how well the body shop did with the car. I knew when it came to paint and sanding I needed professionals and they have been nothing but professional about the whole finish.
Some photos of the car in the booth;
Now knowing that I would next see the car painted I decided to spend some time opening boxes of items I had not seen for over a year since having the items painted / powder coated or in some cases all the new equipment.
I decided that I would go to the paint shop and get the car rolling next time I have some free time so I started to build the subframe and I think it looks just stunning, the red and the black work so well together and I hope that when the car goes back together it looks just as good even though a lot of it will be hidden by the engine.
With that done I applied a little paint to my tyres over the lettering, I did do the arrow too but I will be removing that as I am not sure about it but I know the white letters will be all tied together when it is done
