Pannel beating should be completed over christmas as the shell is nearly finished now. The plan is im going to paint all the inside of the car and underbody, doorshuts etc white my self then put all the pannels back on and give it to a paint shop to do all the out side because i'll proberly make a shit job of it, am also putting pearl white on the outside aswell and don't really know how you go at putting that on.

So anyway went and bought 4 litres of 2k white last week, which can also be used for a base on the pearl white. Looks mint and also got a good deal as the tin had been dropped a few times lol
Also picked up my new headlining which looks pretty cool, gonna take abit to fit though as its not cut to size Was actually planning to paint the whole inside of the car today as it's pretty warm, but had to seal up all the factory seams first. No one in town was really keen on giving me the right sealer once i told them it cannot react to paint, so ended up buying this from a pannel beater after he relutantly sold it to me, though at $26 a tube and one tube only did half of inside the car im going to have to find a few more tubes somewhere any opinions on what else to use?

Was using this though what i did do turned up pretty mint

got all inside the car and rear wheel arches all sealed up now aslong as the weathers all good it should be getting some colour tomorrow!!

Good shit. Love it when the seam sealer goes on so clean.

Very tasty indeed. New sealer on fresh panels is so rewarding aye. Weather isnt that awesome according to the forecast. Lets hope..

hey man im in search for a new interior light for my car and from memory of being in Lulus 140j they have the same as my 180b coupe would you have a spare or put up a pic to confirm my memories

umm yeah, the problem is that the light is somewhere in a big pile of parts from the car so finding it would be abit of a mission. Arn't 180b sedan ones the same?

i should have one somewhere here Lewis if you cant find one locally...
