Just a wee update as its been a while. Still waiting on my primer as the courier company are obviously useless and believed my postcode to be part of the highlands so took it back to the supplier as they had not been paid the surcharge. Anyway reordered and hopefully arive near end of the week.
Car is still sitting masked up waiting.....

Been keeping myself busy with other stuff as still plenty needing done. Done some smoothing work on the bumpers. My plan was to buy smooth ones but I have blown my budget to bits so it has to be done. Basically just working my way down the grades of sandpaper until the texture has gone, will fibreglass the swage line then some filler primer.
Still undecided on wether to colour dode the tops of the bupers white of do them pearl black magic to match the roof. Any opinions are welcomed!!

Re-painted my calipers and carriers as the finish from the smoothrite was very flat. Used some hammered stuff and is much better and I suspect much more durable.

And finally have painted the ends of my new flexi pipes to stop them rusting up prematurely. Yes I know...I've taken that too far lol.
