A little more work on the P1
Picked up a boost solenoid bracket, front bumper support and boot lid off a Ver 6 Sti from jap performance.
Reason for replacing these is the dreaded rust.

Ground out all the rust from Inner wing , primed and top coat then 1200 paper the edges to blend to old pain work .
needs one more coat as still a tiny bit patchy .
Finish is brighter as fresh paint but wont show to much as the area is 85% covered by brackets , air box etc.

Next is make good battery tray then just a cut and polish of remaining areas of engine bay.

Then a last I can strip the res off the car and send if to coach works







Decided to go for anothe boot as the one on the P1 has quite extensive rust around the various bolt holes and rubbe stoppers
This one has normal scratches but is mint and rust free



My mate Rich came around and drilled out and tapped about half a dozen snapped bolts .
He is a dab hand at that sort of thing.
