Just want to tidy up the underside of the boot, it's literally just going to be a trimmed panel!

It'll look better when its outside in proper daylight!

That was a remarkably good pic considering the light was fading fast

Pushed outside

So I could prime the boot, wings and bolts for the wings

Got some fog covers too! Odd colours but both gen Subaru.

I guessing anyone who's not followed this build would notice that bumper but it looks great - I am envious of the colour though

A quick question Mr T.... sideskirts ? will you be refitting or are you finishing coating and going without

Since I have had the RA the without look really grows on you and I remember you did not have them on the Blu build

Thanks Jon

subtle is the name of the game. A close friend hadn't spotted half the mods on my last car until I pointed them all out to him

The back bumper on this car is my favourite part

Colour was a brave choice but I must admit it looks awesome in the flesh - even if I do say so myself!

I really do need a bigger garage for these projects though!

Ahem

Less is more

Yup none on the last one and none on this one

To fill in all the holes (32 in total on the skirts and hockey sticks) These were attacked with a wire brush to remove the paint

The little discs were held in place with my trusty magnet

and tacked on

Ground back, filled and sanded

And a quick dusting of etch primer!

Bootlid and wings fitted. Starting to look like a car slowly!!

Amazing what the light in my garage does to the colour. Makes it look a lot brighter than it is. The top pic is more like the real life colour!

Starting to take shape now, looking forward to seeing how this turns out. Bet you cant wait to get it all back together can you?

Also, colour coded steely looks great
