Leda 3 ways fella, (pics somewhere within the thread)
Well, the car is totally and I mean totally stripped atm
I will take some pictures tomorrow before the interior gets painted
Cage is out and going to be painted Frozen, as is the fuel cell and the seat side mounts
The exterior of the shell may be primed tomorrow but it will deffo be done this week,
next week will see the exterior painted and the bodykit fitted, I will then fit the suspension before it returns home for the Autumn/Winter build up

All cars I paint at work are in water base to match the original paint. A re-spray is different, no original paint to match. For a soild white 2k is much easier and a better finish.
