Looking brilliant, getting closer and closer to being painted. What are you going to paint it with? I've used the yard brush before and it looks great lol

going to take a mouth full of paint and spit it over!!!!!!! or i might use some
crunched up plastic and do a crinkle finish....

However you paint it I'm sure its going to look great

stuck with what i've got for the moment as funds
won't allow new wheels, would like either superlight
deep dishes or deep dish star mags in an anthracite colour.

well then, had my orders this morning, after going for my
sunday morning 11 mile cycle ride at 8 am was told i had
to wash and wax my Ford galaxy. spent the afternoon sorting
out the mini doors, had to fill them slightly as i dented the
edge of the skins when i fitted them,got them 90% sorted
and filler/primered up, still a little fettling to do..

Looking good Freddy, can't be far off paint now surely?

Are you using an air gun to put that filler primer on?

been out tonight, rubbed down the doors and filled a few blemishes, now
i've got to re-prime. also wet flatted the whole car with 400 grit, not looking bad
noticed a couple of weird dents on the roof never noticed them before | , filled
them. also a couple of marks on the front end which i have filled. will rub down
tomorrow and probably spray the whole car with my 2k filler primer..
