The final stage of the bodywork is about to start, painting! Hopefully this Saturday the body will be transported to the body shop for its first bit of paint. Although only the underside, interior, engine bay end boot area will be painted to start with. After which the loose panels will be prepared for painting. This way it is possible to paint all visible parts in one go. This is to eliminate the chance of paint differences due to the paints reaction over time. This is a problem caused by the paint we are using this time, but a small price to pay.
In preparation for this the body was taken out of the body spit and mounted to the transport frame. A few pictures of where we stand now ...
Seam sealing of the engine bay ...
... and the interior ...
Those eagle eyed looking at the pictures might find some imperfections on the outside of the body, which is correct. Final sanding down will be done prior to painting the outside.
