sorted the door frame of the drivers door before it gets rue skinned



then I had a look at the drivers door which I thought looked not bad.

Well today was eventful lol started by receiving my new toy in the post



Hvlp gun a steal at 25 bucks lol and it holds a litre of paint he he

also decided to see what the sanders were lick for my grinder as I left my welder in the shed at my house ( mini is at my mums ) got a bit carried away lol



ooops lol was covered in filler and fiberglass but perfectly good metal underneath all be it with a few digs but they will be sorted

during this process my grinder decided to sheet it's self lol



thats the bit put back in minus the lock button lol

heres the culprit





done all the filler with this before it killed the grinder ( just as well I have 2) so wire wheeled the rest



cooking the primer with my heater/light lol job done more tomorrow if I can be assed to take the welder down

cheers
