Had my paint guy over today, he seemed largely happy so far, we've cooked up a plan so.....

I reckon in 4-6 weeks it will be going in to be drowned in filler primer.

Back home, block it all down. I'm spraying the inside satin black.

Then back down for top coat.

Home again to nib n polish. No lacquer required, it's a solid paint colour. No glittery crap.

Then onto the chassis

All thats left is everything else

So after much swearing.

Repeated attempts to modify holes.

I filled in all holes and started from scratch not using those turnip muncher positions.

Need to spend the day tidying the shed. Looks like a bad day in Bosnia

Wrong thread but not sure where to post.

Pair of outer sills for Rx8. Not perfect quality but not crusty and rotten either.

Easy parts uk on eBay. Based on Poland ironically.

Quick degrease, zinc primer then store until required

Mini update.....

If you remove all the wheel sensors from your rx8 and need to run the stock speedo..... fear not!

Fit one of these !!
