Another job ticked off the list, stripped the front cross member and repainted it.

Next jon is to scuff down the underside, apply seam sealer and then stone guard.

Underside all rubbed back and have now started applying the seam sealer.

Not far from getting the stone guard applied.

Great work Taz,

Its fun getting the paint on, almost feels like you are finished !!!
Still a hurdle getting it back together, but the light at the end of the tunnel is getting closer.

So keen to start the assembly, the car has been fully rebuilt and put together several times. I have parts sitting on shelves ready to be bolted to the car.

I reckon this is the most exciting fun part. The fear of damaging the finish in assembly being the downside. Great stuff Simon. Thanks for sharing.

Fear of scratching paint is why I am only just painting the front end and rear end now. I intend to bolt these components, plus the brake lines, file line and fuel tank onto the car whilst on the rotisserie.
