    • Nice one

      are you putting the holes in for the indicators before you paint her?

      (mine arrived here safely thanks)

      the hard/weird bit is where the bottom of the yellow travels over the front arch and also getting it to spread out over it like a bulge.

      original:


      mine:


      you might get yours with the lazer even straighter than mine, we had to change the angle slightly at the front otherwise it just looked odd higher up when you were stood by it though it looks strange on some angles on the original.

        • It's done. Painted the last of it today and just pulled all the masking off.

          It's come up pretty well, a few minor touch ups required.

          Still needs wet sanding and clear coat of course and it's very dusty but this should give you an idea of what it's going to look like.

          • Nice paint job so far.

            Is it just me or is the orange a tiny bit close to the red on the top? Might just be the light.

            • It's the light, look at the contrast between red and orange on the front valance.

              I need to push this out into day light to get some proper shots.

              Everything is pretty dull at the moment too , there's a lot of polishing to go yet.

                  Paints always look even better on a professional camera too.

                            • Loved it in white, but the Kamei colours are cool. You home on Sunday for a sticky beak?

                              Any updates Pete? Find any wheels to fill those huge arches?

                                I'm off racing on Sunday.

                                I need to assemble the suspension and check a lot of geometry before I settle on wheels.

                                They'll be 15 x 8 but the offset can't be figured out just yet.
