TR2/3/3A TR3 to body shop

After spending many months of panel fitting it's about time to take the car to the body shop for some primer, and expert work to be done. Almost all the corners and gaps on the car had to have material added. This was very time consuming and tedious. If all goes well paint will be done sometime this winter.

First try at photobucket, hope it works.

OK change made I think it will work now.

JP the primer does have a tint of blue to it. The color of the car will be Winchester Blue, much darker.
