[mark]

we got another bit done to her,
i made the two door bars and the harness bar
to finish off the cage and painted it,
have to mask it all up now to get the interior
sprayed, im going to vent the bonnet so i masked
up the cut lines to see what it looks like, hopefully it'll
look alright, anyway, heres a few pics.

http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr169/smilers15/003-7.jpg

http://i480.photobucket.com/albums/rr169/smilers15/005-7.jpg

[mark]

a small bit more done to her,

i masked up all the cage to paint the inside,
which i might add was some pain in the hole,
we got the first coat of paint on the interior, bay and boot
tonight, were going to give it one more coat tomorrow,
and then i can start putting it back together,
i also started to cut my bonnet tonight,
alot of work left to do on it, but it should look ok
when its finished,

[mark]

[mark]

we got the second coat of paint on
the inside, boot and engine bay, so i took all the
masking off to get a good look at it, and
stripped the masking off the cage,
im happy enough with the finish,
i started to put it back together then,
i was going to go with a pedal box but i
knocked that idea on the head yesterday so
i got my pedals in and bolted in my handbrake.
