finally got it painted 
after a shitload of hours and a few extra helping hands its ready for reassembly(except bonnet)
opted for 2k with base coats of the bluw and black then clearing over the lot. i added pearl to the both the blue and black and shows up really nice in the sun.
masked up and ready for primer
primed and ready for rubing back
my uncle did alot of the spraying, not bad for a chippy
sprayed up all the door jambs first and the cowl vent to get an idea of how well the paint was going to go down, turned out to be alot easier than we thought with the coulour differences not being noticeable.
I thought that the car would have to be sprayed with the doors on etc. to get the metallic to all look the same, but it sprayed the same everytime.

base coat down, now to mask up everywhere for the blackouts
the doors came out awsome, dead straight, i put alot of time into blocking them to get em nice
il put some pics up later looking down the car when its assembled so u can see how it looks
blackouts sprayed on body
u can see the pearl showing up in the sun
clearcoats on
theres a few runs in the clear for the first coat which was a bit heavy but i should be able to block and buff them out.
Now comes the fun part of reasembling everything. Turned out pretty good i think for my first attempt at doing a respray, my uncle has done a couple cars but still, a good job for a sheety and a chippy i reckon

Yeah sorry about that i was looking at my car and the wreck and by the looks of it the ones on the wreck had been replaced before thats why it was so hard to remove. Ill have a look at that trim for you in the morning 2.

The paint job looks smick from what I can see for your first paint job.
Very nice work. Makes me want to pick up a paint gun now.

im just gonna roll with wat i got for a bit jason, once i got the car back together and have a good look at it, il decide. Also its hard being so far away and the trim isnt something u can really post. Some dust settled in the clear over night :( and there is also a couple runs in the clear which sucks, im hoping it can buff out. Lining the doors up is a royal pain in the arse any1 got any tips??

time for a bit of an update, its been a while, currently got the blower and intake manifold off, porting all of it, has come up real good. Im going to b using an 85mm ls1 throttle body, and carbon fibre BYE ubend into the back of the blower, which is also going to be port matched and has been made as a one off, its massive
I put an 044 inplace of the vl turbo pump, this played with the fuel in the tune a bit, made it run a little rich but we run it up on the dyno anyway to get a comparisonj, still made 251hp and 522nm torque at the wheels
blower before and after porting
i also welded 2 injector cups into the back of the blower, im going to run the car on e85 and the idea is to spray fuel in to cool intake temps
as it sits
i also installed a 75L fuel cell, i welded a flange onto it and cut a hole thru my boot so it hangs at the same lowest point as my old tank, im trying to keep it as legal as possible, and will get an external filler and pressure test the cell. I did this to get rid of the surge set up and to have a bigger tank for the e85.
its good having access to a mates workshop he is as keen as me to push this combo, we will be tuning tomorow and wednesday night, doing 2 tunes one for bp 98 one for e85, cos i will have to buy in drums as its not at the pump here.
