Can't wait to see the level of perfection you achieve this time with Flo .

Righteo, it appears to be approximately update O clock. I hadn't updated this for a while due to my photobucket being on hold for a few weeks due to EXCESSIVE BANDWIDTH USAGE. Pretty extreme stuff, I know.

Anyway, reskinned the N/S door due to an occurrence of bubbles along the bottom..


Skin removed


Holed inner frame


Repaired inner frame


Door ready for new skin


And reskinned.


I then stripped the car and sorted out all the little dents and niggly bits that had been annoying me.



Cut out rust on the bonnet


Welded up


Then primed it all..





Also repainted inside the boot as it was a bit scratched and naasty.


Spray booth booked for next Saturday..

Lucky man.

We get the smell police (council) up if we dare even spray an aerosol outside!

[panelbeaterpeter]

I know what you mean, the guy who owns the workshop I'm working out of, muttered something about a £20,000 fine.. doesn't make much sense to me, a spray booth pumps out the fumes anyway, all be it a bit more filtered.. Luckily it was a Sunday and no-one was about. It is great spraying outside though, especially in the sun with no wind, the best spray booth in the world!
