Right im back with another update. I hope everyone had a good Christmas.
There haven't been any recent updates as the weather just hasn't been right.
Pictures -
Got the dribbles on the bonnet sanded back and ready for another coat -
Then got both Bonnet and Boot finished and inside to avoid getting damaged -
Then got the doors out ready to paint -
Came back to a lovely finish ruined because somehow water had gotten on them whilst drying -
Both doors were flatted back and water mark removed -
After much deliberation i decided that i would be spraying on a clear coat -
Then on the second attempt i had the finished product with no water marks or dribbles
I am very happy with the finish -
If the weather holds out i will be starting on the shell tomorrow
I am very excited
I will probably spray the roof first and go from there.
I would love to hear all your comments as its taken a lot of work to get to this stage.
Thanks very much
Andrew.

Cheers Hugh, I know it's Sod's law but oh well it was only a minor inconnvience
Should be getting the headlining on once the paints finished which should be around a weeks time ( Weather permitting )
