Congratulations mate, great to see a real 80's classic back from the jaws of disaster.
I'd love one myself, good work.
The pocket rocket
Small update
Only 5 days till its respray time :mrgreen:
The tables have turned now and my bro is telling me what to do now, since he is the bodyshop boy
Doing prep work at week nights and all this weekend
Not much left to prep at all but removing as much trims etc as possible to save time stripping and masking up
Garage cleared
The Bro brought home some proper high build primer and tools etc
Car masked up
The Bro in action painting the front bumper
Guide coat on bumpers
Front bumper ready for paint
Whole passenger side is ready for paint aswell but no pictures of it.
Only the door shuts left to scotch off

well the car is pretty much fully prepped and whilst my bro was finishing off the passenger door shut....
I started to play
No grill at the moment as my old one is beyond repair so a new one is coming when i can afford it
Standard bonnet
Bad boy louvered bonnet unknown origin?
Come to the conclusion that it wont be used ever as,
1. the bonnet needs that much repair work i have no energy left to do it
2. it doesn't suit the car imo altho the louvers would of been a good thing for getting heat out
3. my brother hates it and thus wont paint it for me lol
Fingers crossed i get away from doing jury service early tomorrow afternoon as i'm driving it to my bros work for painting and he has the keys so we can pick it up sunday morning

He's in the spray booth and oh my god its a big booth indeed so glad we have the keys to the place all weekend so sunday morning he'll be properly dry
Seems like such a luxury to have so much room
Anyways pictures as always
One tall booth
Little shot of the stuff they have in for painting etc
They have a few redbull f1 racing units and even a few FIA trucks being worked on and a couple in the other booths
