Today I coated the undercarriage (all but inside fenders because I ran out of coating), got the engine painted and a few things put back on it, and painted the front subframe. Oh, also got the door hinges off that were giving me tons of grief. On one side, the studs that fit through the fender had sheared. 
Finally got them off and will be placing new hinges once I finish prep and paint on the doors. 
I think I also managed to break my hand, but not 100% sure. Nothing to do with the car, but simply slammed it into the garbage bin as I walked by it. It hurts like a mother, and is really swollen, so if it's still feeling like this by Monday, I may be seeing the doctor. >
Will put up some pics in a little while.

Decided to attempt (with the help of my other half) the replacement of the window channels of my Mk1. It should have been a fairly simple job but for a tiny screw 
!!! It took nearly 2 hours to remove one of two screws that holds the window channel retainer in place - for some reason we could not get the screw to turn so it was suggested we drill the screw out - what a larf (not) god knows what the screw was made of but we now have a full set of 
drill bits. Needless to say with a lot of blaspheming & cajoling it finally relented (a hefty pair of pliers). Still haven't got it back together - lets hope the other one won't be so difficult

Bought a load of mini bits, drooled on my visit to machine mart, cleaned up some space for a first venture into the weird and wonderful world of wheel bearings and swivel joints..
