small update seam sealed inside the front floor pan and the bottom of the sills, wasnt to hapy with the old line on my back doors so squared them up blasted the back bumpers gave the bonnet first good coat of high build then blocked it back with 120 ready for primer again got the back doors front doors and front bumper primed blasted and primed the brake servo powderd radiator support neon green and managed to source rare 5 door , door panels with the same pattern as rs2000 seats as the 3 door ones dont fit vans

found pens that can cope with high temps trying out sum custom poop just a mess about









better line now
