Fantastic - coming alomg really well now.

Have you kept all the metal bungs from the holes in the floor?

It's not going to be perfect by any means but I should be happy with it :D.

Most of them were destroyed on removal.

I'm going to replace them with rubber ones from Autosparks I think. It's just finding the right size ones.

Don't suppose you know where they came from if they fit snug?

Just I literally need all of them. I'd have got them from Mini Spares, but looking at the price I'd need a bank loan haha.

Floors are pretty smooth! I spent a bit of time seam sealing today and also rubbed down the parts which won't be covered up by carpet to try get them as smooth as possible. I didn't get to spray the black because I had to parp around trying to fix my sisters god awful Fiat Shed. I'm going to pop down tomorrow morning and spray it before I go out for the day.

I'll take one tomorrow and if I see you can take it and try it.

Cheers Graeme!

My sister has bailed on me (nothing new) so I'm going to drag my mother along to spread costs haha. She'll enjoy the day out anyway!

Turns out my mother is busy and doesn't fancy standing in a field in the rain. That leaves me with no car :).

I'll have to wait until next year. This is a good source of inspiration to finish Elliot, I need my own car back!

From another angle.

It's by no means perfect but at least it's done now and I can get on with other things.

Thanks for looking :).

nice finish, I am sure you are happy with the result too, what size compressor and pressure do you use?

It's only a little 1.5 HP thing. You have to give it time to breath inbetween panels.

No idea on pressure, I just adjust it at the spray gun until it feels right :).

That's come up nicely, at least you are still making progress where as we have now come to a shuddering halt.

I'll be making progress constantly now until it's finished. I'm holding off applying for jobs until Elliot is road worthy again otherwise I'd never get her finished.

Progress stopped for you because of Scotts job?
