I started by dying the main hatch panel.

I also washed all the other pieces off and let them dry.

Before I put everything back in I wanted to clean up the floors, sadly my small shop vac was at home so I couldn't do the greatest job, before I do the final assembly I'll have to bring it out.

I then put the rear panels in but hit a small snag, the center trunk panel needs some trimming to sit flush with the aluminum floor. The other pieces may need to be trimmed too. I'll fix this at a later date.

I then moved on to pulling my engine and front chassis harnesses from the car. This was actually pretty easy, I labelled everything I knew but some things will need to be researched before any work starts. Once I have everything labelled I can make a plan of attack.

Finally I got the bumper painted but ran out of time for clear coat, doesn't look half bad for a rattle can job though.
