A bit of colour
I was keen to get the main part of the tub (the chassis, scuttle, nose cone and bonnet) off to paint and back before Christmas so I could start working on the build over the Christmas holidays. The prep and painting was to be done by Josh from Kirrawee Prestige Smash Repairs. This was an important step as the body had suffered some pretty bad gouges from the shipping frame (ex factory) and the nose cone had a large gouge on one of the edges that had exposed fibres.
My youngest son was in charge of colour selection, and we came up with an Audi Orange (as seen on the A3). The guys at Kirrawee Prestige Smash Repairs did a stellar job on the repairs (you can't see them!) and the paint is gorgeous. Throughout prep and paint Josh sent me photos of the mask up, the etch primer, the colour coats and the final clear coat while it was being baked. It will be complemented by gloss black fenders and accessories, as well as black wheels and brake calipers further along in the build. We picked it up Christmas eve (hell of a pressie!) and bought it home to recommence building.
