We are mate , the other one wasn't that bad we were gna polish it up but now painting that side and bulkhead
Then the plan is to completely clean the underside and it's going to the body shop to be undersealed
Then possibly re paint the bumpers
Engine back in, off to lee for a map then castle Combe

Nice and tidy


Intercooler painted

Im over the moon with it but have decided to spray both the bumpers and side skirts as they have a few blemishes and it would be a shame now the rest of the car is so clean.

Engine will go back in this week then ill take it to lee5 for a map and then to the bodyshop for an underseal

Then Castlecombe :twisted:
