Fabulous Andrew. You have to look back to the very start of this thread to fully absorb what you have achieved - and in quite a short time too!
It isn't easy spraying the inside of a car is it? I found doing mine a real pig of a job :x
It is no wonder that the sprayers at BMC missed so much!
I bet you can't wait until you can screw some shiney bits back on it :)

Beautiful work!

Must be a bonus to know that all your hard work will be reflected in the value of the finished car

Thanks for all the replies, always appreciated :)

Yes I will be pleased when this part is finished ...

Richard, you are right, doing the interior was a pig of a job. I did the normally upside down or awkward to get at places and the cant rails with it on its side and then the floors and seat pan with it upright.

Much of the garage now has a fine dusting of ‘Smurf Blue’ as it’s been renamed ... I had a fair covering too :shock: :lol:

I bought some of the faracla disposable cups and gun adaptor, you can spray at any angle with those inc upside down and easy to clean up afterwards,

They use those at work Darren and are very good.

Slight issue at the moment with that idea, we only have suction guns here (and good quality Devilbiss guns at that).

A gravity gun is on the cards though mainly for the 2k primer (and maybe suspension black) because you end up mixing up too much for the suction gun.

Lovely job. Did you cut out part of the old inner wing with the FE plate on it and graft it into the new inner wing?
