    Paint

    And the only part im not happy with is the slam panel. The paint reacted even tho i wiped everything over with panel wipe.
    I must have missed it or something got on it before paint.

    Long overdue update, been lazy and couldn't be f'd laying out on the cold wet ground!
    Hoping to get a storage place asap with sheltered work space so should be able to crack on with the body!

    Anyway, cleaned up the o/s arch, zinc primed and seam sealed.



    Also cleaned up and zinc primed the n/s sill (the sills are incredibly straight and clean for an s13)



    Both front arches, transmission tunnel, chassis legs and front foot or so of the floor undersealed.



    And last for now, i have put a few bits back in the bay.



    Once i have finished wire brushing the n/s sill i will be giving the bay a good wash down.

    Then over xmas period i may get the engine in

    O/s is now all undersealed just the n/s sill to clean, zinc prime, seam seal and underseal to do.

    Will get pics of the whole lot when done but am only going back to subframe for now as dont want to drop all that atm.

    I will be doing the rear arches though.

    Have to say I was super skeptical when you bought this.

    Did it turn out to be more of a mission than you thought ?

    I'm mega impressed with what you've done mate.

    I never intended to go as far as i have so far.
    Initial plan was to just get it running, do the 4 patches of rust and sell it on.

    I wouldn't necessarily say i got carried away as i enjoy doing it just wish i had more available time!

    Thanks for the kind words Jonny and Danielle 😀
