Engine bay painted (aside from the firewall - still some minor things (rust holes) to sort out there).
Outside is satin black, with body colour on all the interior surfaces.
Got the underside painted today. The Raptor paint didn't come out as textured as I thought. Still happy with how it's come out. It should be pretty durable as well.
Tomorrow, I'll get to the engine bay - body colour inside and I'll satin black the outside (front of rad cross member and the...
I've just about finished all the repairs to the floor pans, wheel wells, trunk floor etc. I've got one more week of holidays to finish tidying things up and paint the underside. The front floor pans didn't come out as well as I'd hoped, but they are a huge improvement on what was there before...
I've been over every inch of the top radiator support, the only stamping is on the passenger side, what I assume to be the support stamp number - "OD 35 1".
All the spot welds appear to be original to my eye, so I'm still stumped as to the front partial VIN. Is it possible it was missed on the...

Hi,

Been working on the rust in the inner/outer cowl hinge on the passenger side. Ended up totally removing both sides of the cowl, they were rotted through at the base and top section. Once removed, the top of the rail was also rotten, so cut it out. Thankfully was I removed all the built up crud...
A little more done this weekend. Diff body, carrier housing, brake drums, backing plates, each of the spring leaves and the hangers. Essentially all the removable rear end components blasted and painted. Still have to put the assembly line paint markings on them.
