Well, it was going well 3 weeks ago,

My Mate bought a Baja from Wibble, and took the engine, parts from the superbug, and I took that off him, So it needs a clean up, engine and some electronic work, then she should be right.

So how did you do the prep for the painting, did you strip it right back, or just sand it down?

Looking good!
