Finished installing the splash guards yesterday, put the wheels back on (without fitting the spinners) and drove it up the street. The neighbors came out!
Still have to do headlights/turn signal front lights; windshield; and doors.
I did all the body prep using a lot of FFR gelcoat paste and some epoxy gel. I was intending to finish with FFR gelcoat, but decided not to go to that trouble of cleaning out the spray equipment multiple times, so I got a local body shop to do the final spay painting ($800). All to FFR red matched paint. I fitted the 2 body parts after painting. Did minimal damage to the paint, which can be easily touched up when I'm totally finished
Not a fantastic job. But I'm satisfied.
Note: doing all the body prep is not something to be lightly considered. It takes a lot of time and perseverance. Learned a lot and next time I will be quicker (if I ever do it again).
