I'm down there on Thursday to witness the birth of my new M3W, so may not see much of the rest of the factory outside the M3W build shop, but will keep a look out if I do. Sorry, I failed, never seen the factory so chocka with part-built cars, just didn't have the time to check them all out

Just three of Ian's car in build (all photos, so far, have been forwarded). Here the car is in Assembly (I missed it in the Chassis shop as I wasn't in that day) waiting body tub, wings, cowl and bonnets. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2019/08/29/L1070657.jpg) Here is Ed working at the front of the car in Assembly: ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2019/08/29/L1070669.jpg) Here awaiting preliminary paint (this morning). It has been partly dismantled again prior to careful cleaning then the application of 2 x etch primer, followed by 3 x build primer. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2019/08/29/L1070671.jpg) Ian, many thanks for the sausage roll, cake and tea!!

I have been feeding Ian photos of his car over the last couple of weeks. I shall only add a photo of each phase. Coming apart again, in Preliminary Paint: ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2019/09/11/L1070671.jpg) Here in the Trim shop: ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2019/09/11/L1070684.jpg) Final Assembly, Pete working away at the back: ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2019/09/11/L1070696.jpg) Masking up ready for application of underseal. These guys kindly invited me in to get a few more shots ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2019/09/11/L1070705.jpg) Final valet. Paint protection film being installed. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2019/09/11/L1070713.jpg) And the final reveal - the completed car waiting collection.  the colour scheme! ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2019/09/11/L1070715.jpg)
