Project number 3!

Been a productive evening.

Met up with someone from another forum who had some Ace bits for sale.
I now have two more rear seat panels, tailpiece joiner, rear light, powerbronze undertray, a hugger and a solo seat cowl, all at a bargain price.

Trouble is they all need painting.

All i need now is a rear left indicator and a left side mirror, then its almost done, apart from the painting.
Sometimes my job has its perks, i saved a fortune on postage.

Pics to follow later, as Mrs RF9 is back from Mugello this afternoon.

Mrs RF9 has returned, so has my camera!

Heres where i`m up to so far, with all the panels fitted.
Just need to spray the rear seat panels, solo cowl, bellypan, hugger and finish and spray the left front panel.
I have another front left panel, but i`m saving that and the other spare bodywork for something else i have in mind.

Left front panel and bellypan need a little work to finish them.

Can you spot the repairs?

Thanks all.
Just waiting on some warmer weather to finish painting.
Been pouring with rain for the last week here.

Had a warm couple of days, so painting nearly finished.

Primered the front left panel, and painted the seat cowl.

Painted the bellypan and tailpiece joiner.

Painted the hugger and seat panels.
The seat panels were going to be all white, but it just didn`t look right, too much white, so doing the rear end a little different than first planned.
