UPDATE

Was down again today an made a good bit more progress.

Got the side skirts fitted and lined up.

Had some hardship with the back bumper, back panel, rear lights and boot all lining up, but after many hours tweeking and farting around with it i got it lined up, bit of sanding to be done, and some tidying up. But all the lines are perfect.

Also got the final smooth coat of filler applied to the doors so they are flush, will sand them down in the morning.

Also in the process of getting the issue with my coilovers sorted with DW, so hopefully i will have them sorted.

Some pics.

Update:

Car is going to primer, first thing tomorrow!

Finally after all the weeks farting around and tidying up the bodywork, she was finished, wiped down, and is ready for primer first thing tomorrow.

Also i stripped the engine bay, firewall, and cooling panel, as much as possible, and primered it, and gave it a shot of frozen white, and clear lacquer to tidy it up, cleaned it up nicely without dropping the engine out , i think so anyway.
Engine bits themselves will get a full going over in the near future, Rocker cover, new hoses etc...

New coilovers came too to replace the HSDs that were fucked in the front, so they will be in tomorrow aswell hopefully.

Heres some pics:
In primer...


In paint...


After lacquer and all bits back in.


Car as she sits waiting for the morning.
