So rebuild well underway, - got around to sorting the floor in the buggy the tread plate was looking pretty rough on top so need a clean up and prep for paint. Wasnt sure how the Raptor stuff was going to go but ran the gun at around 55-60psi and the finish is fantastic!
Heres the rear half of the floor after a wire brush cleanup

then a good coat of acid etch to give the raptor a good base, this is the half of the floor and ive dropped rivnuts into the floor to fasten down the new brake and electrics cabling

And this is what it looks like in the chassis complete with new rubber edging and foam underneath to protect the frame

I'm also wrapping the front and rear bulkheads - they were just anodised alloy plate and have not stood up to the weather too well and looked a little manky :( so ive wrapped them in the same wrap I used to protect the side panels you can see the rear bulkhead in the pictures and the front one will follow soon!
