Made a start on the inside today, and the number plate light got done too, it was covered in tiny scratches but some fine wet and dry got that sorted. I will be making some panels for both sides and the floor, the roll hoop will probably have to come out to do it properly, might even get that blasted then powder coated.

Finished the other side in this so called 'summer' weather. Need to go get some MDF next. And the Pro Comps are all done ready to go on. Also ordered some new brake shoes for the next MOT, matey mentioned they were ok but not brilliant...and I need to do something about those holes!

Still at it with this door, gave it a coat of primer to see if there were any imperfections. Short answer, yes. Loads of filler later and I'm stil not done!
