      Last of the garage until the new year. I've got a few little runs so I think I'll rub down and repaint that area. My first go at painting so I'm sure I'll have a few hiccups along the way.

        What a nice first go at painting mate! Cheap to!

        Mine is also just like that at the moment.

        Cheers,

        Mário Santos.

          its hard to coax myself in the garage in this cold weather but I managed to get a little further forward.

          Put some paint on the roof, bootlid and back panel, then filled and shaped the rear arches and scuttle area.

            It's been hard work learning to paint in the cold weather but it's finally painted. It not the best but good enough for the lanes.

            All door shuts painted


            Managed to pick up a cheap heater as I was finishing off


            Side windows re-fitted with safety film fitted ready for logbook


            Starting to line up the bonnet properly and fit the aero catches

                    After doing Flanders last year I was travelling a lot for work. Also needed to llet the bank balance recover!
                    Looking at doing an event or two soon. I didn't enter the championship this year so I have some flexibility.

                    Heading for the stages then?

                      Tbh I think it's more fun to do the events you fancy rather than commit to a championship. I havnt seen your new car yet. I'm hoping to get mine logbooked and do my bars this year, then maybe get out on the stages next year.
