Finishing touches

A close up from the rear exhaust hole



Everything has been sanded with P300 but the whole care still needs to be sanded with P800 and P1000.



a last ground layer before some more fine sanding



Inner parts are my responsability


Wheelarches, spoilers and skirts, insides of the doors and boot and bonnet; everything has been fine sanded and is ready to be painted.


At this moment the car is completely finished and she is ready to go to the paintshop but due to the very bad weather conditions this has been delayed.
So no luck for me. At the moment we are dealing with a lot of snow so the car will be in the workshop for some more time. Next week is Christmass holiday this means the car will probably not be painted this year I guess.


More sanding to do

Some close up pictures of the rear skirt before the fine sanding.





I don't like to do this but it has to be done so again more sanding



and more sanding...



the exhaust holes in the rear skirt are also done.






Almost done

The car is ready to be fine sanded. I will sand the inside parts and the guy from the workshop who's the specialist will sand the complete body.







I've sanded the inside of the engine bay and the seams are also treated.



This way I can open the bonnet without having red cheeks.






doors, boot and bonnet

The doors and the bonnet are sprayed in a ground layer and just needs some fine sanding.







The holes I've drilled in the boot for the rear spoiler are shut welded again because in my opinion the spoiler is a bit to modern for the car this is not the case for the rest of the kit as the kit is integrated in to the body of the car but again this is my personel opinion. To be sure the rear spoiler will be painted along with the car so if I change my mind it can always be mounted on the car again.





The left hand side close to be finished.
