A bit more done on the car now. The brakes are all fitted and working and I have finished putting the air vent hoses etc on under the arches. Started rubbing down the filler in the scuttle and put some primer on but it still has a couple of marks in it that I’d like to improve before painting properly

Day off today so got a bit more done. Painted the inside of the car where I have welded it and finished off the work on the scuttle then primered the whole front

I have also stripped off all the cracked laminate from the dashboard then stained and varnished it so it now looks much better

Rapid progress as always :)

I like the wood grain paint, that's very realistic ;)

Painted the front of the car today and quite happy with how it’s come out. I’ll give it a few days then start putting it all back together

I’ve been managing to get a little while each night on the car. It should be pretty much finished by the weekend at this rate
