My Granada Mk1 and an 'RO Performance' Restoration - angry and disappointed, money lost

I'm getting some paint reactions when using Kapci 880 epoxy primer.  I've done a solvent test on a couple of panels with Kapci epoxy thinners on a towel and the basecoat seems to be reacting.  I'm going to try some MIPA epoxy primer and see if this is more compatible and hopefully avoid me having to sand back to metal any of the new panels. 🤞

 No pictures today but at least all my repairs done so far are now protected and sealed. I've even Waxoyled inside the shock absorber tower. It's now back on it's wheels as I have to move it outside while paint the tailgate on my Granada Mk3. I don't want any sags, runs, dry spray or overspray on plastics (or a large bill for the privilege) so I'm going to do this job myself!

  Makes a change from welding 🙂 I'll soon be back on the other side 🥽 let's see what's there, or not there as the case may be. There's a small bit of paint reaction to fix, I'm unsure of the cause. Got to underseal under this arch now and then refit spring and shock. What sort of restoration company would mask up door handles instead of removing them 🤔🙄

 This was how RO Performance fitted the new quarter and sill. I've had to cut this out and line things up.

 Just finishing off the boot floor above the chassis rail And a thinned coat of Rustoleum in body colour. Looks a lot better now. 😊 The rest of the boot floor will need painting but not until I've investigated the left-hand chassis rail...and sorted out what needs doing there.

 Decided to investigate further where the new sill and quarter panel meet just behind the rear door. More silicone sealant. 😠  I've not found any Blu-Tak or old newspaper. Yet. These bits came away with nothing more than pliers. These were old repairs but nonetheless were easily removed. After a bit of a clean up I can start doing a proper repair!  Imagine how easy this would have been to sort when the sill and quarter panel was removed by the restorers.

All of the previous old repair now removed and top of chassis rail closed off. 18s gauge used near the suspension tower for additional strength. I've done some extra re-enforcement for the suspension tower.  The hole is for Waxoyl access and will be blanked off with a rubber grommet. Next job is to fabricate a repair section for the inner wheelhouse. 

  Now that the outside of the chassis rail has been plated I've been able to open up the boot floor a bit further back. The spring seat tower is generally OK but needs better attachment to the chassis rail.
