After having a bit of an off at oulton while harrassing a 997GT3 at the back end of last year I've had arch fit a long front and new side skins.

Currently getting it prepped for painting and then refit the engine suspension interior etc. I'm also going to change the chain in the reverser box while its easy to access. I need to get a crack on though as I'm hopefully moving house in the next 3 to 4 weeks as well.

Masked up, etch primed and primed. It's important to use an etch primer on the bare ali to prevent the paint flaking off.

Primer was guide coated and then flatted with 800 wet and dry before putting on the top coat.



quick denibb with 1200 and wizz over with the mop and some farecla and then it's time to start bolting bits back on

Yeah should be, whether I have time to get down there might be another question though.
