looking good chap, and when that red top is in, i hope that you clear your head of ideas of buying a gsi, when theres really no need!you got everything of a gsi there in front of you, without the stupid insurance costs, and cost of trying to find a tidy gsi which isnt either full of rust, or priced stupidly high!

Be very carefull using paint stripper on plastic.

When you primer bits like you have up there, get the tape and fold the edge back on its self by about 3/4mm, this will give a softer edged line.
