*** UPDATE 27/3/12 ***
Just a small update seen as its light when i get home from work it gives me more time to do abit
more work on things to get it ready so just did a bit more painting for today
Started with priming the dizzy cap
Then sprayed it Polar Sea Blue like the car
Lacquered a few mounts
Lacquered the gearbox
Cheers
Kyle

great work cleaning the bay up like that mate, nice and shiny haha
shame about the rot on the x-member but if your putting the plates in anyway it may be worth cutting a bit out and getting some steel welded in there for piece of mind
