Very nice, you are getting through the work pretty quick I've been doing mine for 2 years nearly !
Are you re under sealing or just leaving the painted finish ?

ive spent the last 2 1/2 months working on it, its been every evening ive only missed 2 days in that time and the last week solid on it in work time, the car had a resto in 2008 including underneath which is fine its stonechipped but painted beige as well

im concentrating on the shell and bay so i can show it through the year and drive it!

i have pleanty of plans for the future one of which will probably be the underside and wheel wells being painted again with no stonechip/underseal
