Finally some sort of Update:

Well since january 3 different painters have agreed to paint the car, and all pulled out at the last moment(usually the day before it was due in!)

Its finally been sorted now(I hope) and I have Sprayed the rear of the doors,bonnet and door shuts. Will be hanging the doors back on the car tuesday. Then its due to be painted on friday night. So I should have some pictures next weekend of it all painted.

Then im going to attempt to get everything else put back together for easter when the stickers are being fitted.

Rear lights are fitted again, along with the grill and 1 indicator. Not bad for 30 minutes work.
Pictures tommorow maybe.

its probably about time for an update:

-Rear door cards, Arch liners, Rear seat, Front passenger seat all fitted along with bottom dash shelf all finished in cream and black leather.
-Lights all wired up and working(- rear indicators)
-All windows in(- the chrome fillet strip, which will be done this week)
-New set of 6x10 wellers fitted

Aims before the stickers are fitted next firday are:
-Fit chrome fillets
-Seal in rear lights
-Sort out a fuel filler neck(for the moved tank)
-Give it a good wash
-Refit the bonnet pins and strap

And then its onto the dreaded task of figuring out how the hell the door poppers and central locking wire up.

Well theres an update, But not a very good one.

Roofless started to fit the stickers yesterday, but we ran into a slight problem with them, which meant they needed to be replaced.
Upon removing the ones we had already fitted It revealed a problem with the paint(not being stuck to the car!!) So now its looking like the car needs to be stripped back down to primer and re-painted.

On the plus side Atleast I found out before the car got on the road and was fully stickered, having to strip it down after that would have been Soul destroying.

Unfortunately not! As I supplied the paint to them and it was apparently the paint that was the problem.
