started on the body work today....fixed some small dings and dents, started filling in the holes in the hatch were the factory wing was and filled in the holes where the side skirts were. Also got all the front suspension stuff painted (steering column, steering shaft, A-Arms and K-member). Should finish most of the bodywork tomorrow and will start hitting the car with the DA sander to prep for primer...
should have the body, doors and hatch painted by next weekend...will do the fenders, front bumper and hood right after that...
Excited to finally get into assembly mode...going to be a busy winter doing wiring, plumbing, etc.

Making good progress
front suspension is in for the final time. Under car bars are painted with the hammered paint. Rear suspension is also back in so the car can once again roll...
Got the inside surfaces of the doors and hatch sanded, masked, and ready for prime and paint...will be doing those tonight. Hope to get the outer sides and car in primer saturday and painted sunday.

I'm dying to see what the panels will look like back together...I just wanted the bulk of it done before the weather cools off too much 
still haven't painted the front clip yet...just a minor amount of work left to finish then they will be ready.
