very awesome work with cleaning the underseal off fella... looks like new now!

knew you would like that bit  :laugh: Yep thats the factory primer looking all shiney. On the last car i used an angle grinder to remove it but that left bare metal and a layer of fine dust over everything in the garage so went for the blade scraper technique this time. It doesn't really take much longer and leaves a much nicer finish. Will be better for rustproofing as well

The tunnel is almost there but the golf shell is a bit more radiused whereas the corrado is squarer in some places so its taking ages to match them up perfectly  :angry:
