Leda 3 ways fella, (pics somewhere within the thread)

Well, the car is totally and I mean totally stripped atm :lol: :lol:

I will take some pictures tomorrow before the interior gets painted :wink:

Cage is out and going to be painted Frozen, as is the fuel cell and the seat side mounts :wink:

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 :wink:

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.
