Went round to Tonys place the other night, can confirm what a top job he has made of the car so far, and no doubt the rest will be just as good. This will look stunning when its finished.

Thank you Gary, I hope so too mate, and thank you all for your comments too, keep them coming guys. Seeing as the underside is now painted signal orange, its time to paint the inside of the car, so a few hours of rubbing and prepping this evening resulted in the boot getting its first coat of primer, this will be flatted again before a second coat is applied, but I just cant seem to get the seam sealer on as rough as they did at Ford if you know what I mean, mine looks too smooth, any tips welcome ?

That looks yummy

A friend of mine showed me a good way and it looks pretty much factory, we used seam sealer in a tin and a piece of scotch bright about and inch and a half wide to apply it, stick your scotch bright in the tin with a liberal dollap on it and apply as u would with a brush, leaves a nice rough finsh as per factory

Gone quiet Tony?

[HarrierTony]

Lol, your right Lee, been busy building my new garage around Kermit mate, so haven't touched the car for ages, the underside is finished and painted and the inside is all in primer, but that's it. Now the weather is getting back to normal, ie Rain, I will soon be back in there getting stuck in again, so watch this space
