As i hate rubbing down bodyfiller i do it a little at a time, then add some more where required and leave that a few days and then go back to it. Its a long process haha.

Managed to get the filler cap somewhere close to being finished





Also finished the roof where the aerial has been deleted



Little bit more added into the drivers door




Also i cut this out ready



Made these up for the handle pulls using soldering wire as a template



And then started to take the front panel off as i have to pull the engine at some point to paint the bay, and im now also considering smoothing the bay and relocating stuff.

Oh heres a quick pic of the horrendous rear light tint i bought that has to be removed and the proper stuff then bought

This is the air kit i picked up a couple of weeks ago







Twin 400C's



Today after a bit of pushing by me my mate finally finished up my bootlid, he had been teasing pics over the last couple of days. So i went over this afternoon to pick it up.







And i started to strip the air components off the board they were no ready for when i start on my own boot build (have an idea how it may look)
