Ahh the trials and tribulations of painting panels. The Sport came with a big dent in the driver front door, red paint bleeding through the green on the driver rear door and awful lacquer peel on the rear quarter. I got some replacement doors to make life easier but it turns out the donor doors have quite a bit more paint fade than the car did as can be seen by the darker front wing. I can work on that over time but I’m happy that my painting efforts have come up well on the quarter, will give the whole side a flat and polish in a few weeks when the car is prepped for the LRO Show. Come and see it on stand 47 with the CVC Register!

Roof looks good! I’m still a little bummed that the doors don’t match but at least it’s the doors and not my painting job that lets the side down. Some angles they are spot on and others not so much but they have been painted before so I’m thinking of getting another half litre of the same paint mixed up and blend them in when I do the other side next year. Bonnet is also faded but I kept the old one to make better if needed one day. Will do my best to get the paint up to standard next year. It’s hard to appreciate it properly yet as the car is shoved up next to the hedge on that side on the driveway but I’ll grab more pics of it in other places as I use it over the week before the show. |

It’s only been 7 months but the RRS has finally reached the status of ‘a car’. This is the basic standard that cars need to hit for me. All the doors lock, the windows all work, it starts and moves both forward and backwards and thus it has achieved the bare minimum standard of a car. Never has the bare minimum looked so good though 😂

Thanks! If you have a 2005 car chances are it’s a very early production car, VIN 505 is the first production car so check the last 5 digits of your VIN and you’ll know what number yours is. Very few early Sport’s are left. I also need a second key still, just haven’t gotten around to it yet! |

Updates since the last post - not much. The car made it to the LRO show at Belvoir which was very muggy but a lot of fun.
