I think the body only needs curing in a spraybooth if you intend painting within the first 6-12 months. I deceided to bolt up nearly everything I could to the body and chassis including the heater, fans, wipers, windscreen, motor, gearbox, sidepipes etc. Then I stripped everything back to the shell, removed it from the chassis and had the whole body prepared for painting which included the filling of all gaps where the inner panels meet the body. The wheel arches and underside were given about 10 coats of body shultz and the engine bay was painted an aluminium colour. Theres a picture of the underside prepared but not painted in my gallery. Once the car is registered in 10-14 months Ill get the body painted.
I tend to agree with Leeroy that the building has been great fun and Im not really looking forward to finishing the car.

Regards.
