Can't wait to see it all come together.

Ken’s car had practically everything I needed to finish mine off. I was looking to maybe save the shell but it’s had a substantial wack in the rear so sadly I think it’ll end up at the tip.

Sanding the body back to primer and then the whole thing is getting painted inside and out

I should do that to mine as well.

Fair enough. This is going to a very nice car when it's all done.

What colour are you planning on, a classic MX5 colour or something more extreme? (like Gladiator's "Sexual Chocolate")

Same colour as before. It’s what made me fall in love with the car

Some nice new parts arrived yesterday.
US Racing Sports Bumper, Garage Hundred One Mirrors and Garage Vary side air deflectors. GV deflectors need some trimming to fit right but the other parts are spot on! Counting down the days until paint!

Pulled Hakuna out of the garage today and moved it to my parents house in preparation for paint.
In a few weeks I’ll have a freshly painted car hopefully :DIY:
