Looks good Atho! Let me know when you're in Welly next and come visit.
Oh, one tip, Repco have a good zinc primer that works great spraying over the zintec steel after you're been bashing it. Helps stop the flash surface rusting and it's almost the same colour so it makes the panels a consistent grey that I always found helped when eyeing things up to see they looked right. I think it's this one: https://www.repco.co.nz/en/car-care-pane...p/A1227123
The other stuff you can use that was recommended to me is called Paintgrip 253 (used to be called Kephos).

That stuff can be wiped on bare steel and it's very good at stopping it rusting. I use it a lot on steel parts I have sandblasted before painting them, stub axles and the like. Riley parts I blasted a few years ago are still un-rusted after wiping in that. I can't remember where I got it from last time (took some ringing about) but I need more so I will get extra and you can have a litre or so to try out next time I see you.
