Despite the bad news regarding the booth, here's some pics of the car in primer...
The wheels still need to come off and get done and the trim is somewhere in the bodyshop getting some fettling to freshen it up - it'll be a cracking job when it's finished

None yet, been speaking to the bodyshop and the car's all ready for the colour but no new pics. Some more flocking and a clutch are next on the cards and I expect those plus the respray will be all my wallet can now stretch to for this year

Some little bit's of painting from the body shop, all extras and not the main bodywork...
Once the car is back I'll be getting some flocking done (speedo surround, glove box, under the steering column and steering column, A, B and C pillars, sun-visors x3, roof-flap surround and grab handles all in black) and then I need to get the steering wheel re-trimmed and that will be the interior and exterior all but finished - probably going to redo the carbon wrap on the dash.
After that it'll be clutch, brakes and coilovers which is when I'll be looking at the wishbones and lateral arms being painted to match the trailing arms already done by Ryan (and maybe the strut braces too).
After that is engine time which is pinks, TGV delete, quieter exhaust, home made manifold and header tank insulated spacers, larger turbo, FMIC pipework painted in black and red hoses, and then track time

I wish the pockets were deeper mate as I'm now having to spread out the other work longer than I was hoping - and no overtime in my line of work
