Don't get to exited dude i'm still waiting for the paint to turn up.. .. 2 weeks and still nothing....

Still go a few things to do till he's ready to have the poured on

Kate not 100% how much i'll be down there cos i've got a far few bigish jobs on at work so may not be back early enough to get to the lock-up..
And it's both the kids birthday partys on Saturday on not gonna be down there then either..

Oh and the running boards are at mine now if you or your dad want to pop round Frizz is off work for 5 weeks so she'll probably be here somewhere.

Next week sometime now dude you'll just have to wait for some..


Anyway AUTO PAINT INTERNATIONAL delivered the paint this morning

Blimey, thats a small miracle.

Been a bit slow this week due to my hand being attacked by the grinder

But this is what's been done...

Front panel repaired.. Rear panel fitted.. Rear end straightened.. N/S door localised lower repair.. New bonnet rubber lips fitted..

Now primed and guide coated ready to be flatted back..

Need to sort the engine lid out cos the hinges are siezed and bent/twisted so doesn't fit

just to be totally different why not just lacquer it as it is.

Because you wouldn't be able to see where your going with the paper left over the windows..

Nice work dude. She's taking shape really well.

very impressed dude...........you have just given me some inspiration

he looks very nice now, its a bit of a shame they sent the wrong colour paint but the colour they sent is quite nice so it will do just fine, it has to be better than the rusty patches.

The wrong colour paint...............been there ,done that

What colour is it gonna be now?
