Default RB5 resurrection

After 8 years of owning, 2 years of driving, 4 years rusting in a garage and 2 years in my local bodyshop she is almost ready to come home, lots of mechanical work to be done but won't take much to get back on the road now

Nice mate
Nice to see a classic getting done rather then broken for parts

Is that it finished?

The colour difference on driverside between wing, door and rear door is very visible - which I'm hoping is maybe the light but I'm not sure
