24th June 2000:

The priming is almost finished - so much filler has been added and then sanded back down, and then primer added, it seems like it has taken forever - but the Yntegrale is looking pretty well straight now. The inside of the shell, the inside of the doors and door shuts etc have been painted gold now ready for the roll cage to be installed.

I had hoped that the cage would have been in - but there lies a story. To install the cage, which has been prepainted, except for the ends of the tubes where they will be welded, first the sunroof has to be fitted back in, and then the headlining (a one piece affair) has to be fitted, along with all the roof furniture such as sun visors, mirror and clock (roof mounted on the Y10). This would all have been done except we lost the seal for the sunroof. Oh well, it will be in next time and then its a case of does the wiring get done before the body is painted or after - it's all coming along now, but I guess the fiddly bits to finish will still take forever.
