Just a small update: I've been flatting the interior which is going well but I have found some thinner areas so I'll put more primer on but the majority of it looks good. I've just primed the Engine bay for the second time - the 1st was a disaster! I ran out of primer a quarter of the way through and i hit a pocket of dust! But I've just laid some primer on and it looks ok - I can start doing filler etc at least! I've struggled to get in these tight areas - any ideas? The more I look at the fan mounts I made the more I dislike them - I think I'll cut them off and use the ziptie mounts that go through the radiator

Be careful with touching up these days, can get you into all sorts of trouble. I'm in enough bother trying to get the car done without filing a super injunction!

Nice work! It must be so satisfying seeing the beginnings of colour going on It feels amazing! I started removing the underseal nearly 10 years ago on a weekend trip to see the car when I was at uni - it's been a long time coming but I'm happy

Thanks Duncan! I'm going to pop the front off that radio and see if I can use the dash as is and alter the frame of the radio as it's not that sophisticated! I've managed to sort the underside of the wings and it's been a long arduous job especially the a pillar to wing that was excellently moulded tiger seal! I had a break that day to watch the tour of Britain bike race that went past the end of our road I had another look at the passenger wing top where it meets the a pillar, I think it's solid now and just needs a bit of dressing Then back on with the under wings! The welds have been tired! I've also applied kurust as a precaution. And primed - there are a few touch ups needed. It's a massive relief to be at this point as it's been a long slog! During the evenings I've been doing some engine bay work, this is the centre support of the slam panel and I hacked it to get the electric fan to fit and it was flimsy! I've made a good and moulded it at the top to meet the original section - it's come out better than expected which is a shame as it'll never be seen! I made my own set squares! Now I'm onto seem sealing!!!

I'll bear all this in mind, I've managed to sort the steel wings but I think if these do start rusting I'll change to grp

It's for my mk1 cortina, I picked it up a wing for £20.
My steel ones need work and I can't afford new steel ones

Has anybody had any? My wings are ok but I don't think they'll last because I've seen the pitting on them which I've treated but the fear is that they'll eventually start again.
I've seen some on eBay that could be kept as spares?

I'm liking what you're doing with the Oxford. How did you find applying the raptor? Thanks The Raptor is pretty easy to apply. If you have enough space to keep the gun 12" from the panel, and can keep it moving, it'll go on a treat. If you are lying on your back - like I was, this is sometimes tricky, so it goes on heavy unless you control the trigger. Going on heavy helps to disguise my messy seal sealing though Thanks for the tip! I'll be on my back doing it

Nothing major to add to the post I'm still working on the front drivers side inner wings. It's a constant battle! There's some areas with underseal I can't reach with either a wire wheel or a scraper and heat so any ideas? I'm not even half way! I've got the other side to do... Also some good news bad news... Good news - I got the c pillar trims! I found a pair on eBay. Bad news - the cellar has flooded (It'll get tanked) so I've had to move some spares out and into the conservatory. Nothing is damaged but the bad news is I heavily under sold how much stuff I store in the house to Mrs. Jim. I'm waiting for sentencing! If anyone can help with the underseal I'd be grateful.
