Hey guys some picture updates

3 coats primer after rust treatment.

I have alittle welding todo then ill tidy up and seam seam. Sand reprime then base coat.

Iv decided on diamond white with blue pearl mirror effect

Gotta remove all windows ect and get all my seals replaced with new ones.

Inner wings and wish bone mounts tobe primered next.

Not bad at all! Which was the repaired wing?

Either. Both are genuine lol. I painted wing cause i wanted see what it would look like :) lmao

Im seam sealing tomorrow... Omg u guys smelled pro auto seam sealer ? Makes clearcoat smell like roses.

Looking good mate. :)

Ill wet and dry with 600 and apply paint amd pearl

Then clearcoat. Then give the 4 doors boot amd bonnet a coat inside. Reseal doors with new plastics and sound damping. Readdy for main outta paint job. I have some proper grade clearcoat in post. Hopping for a nice deep shine. 2 coats primer 3 base and 4 clear with 22gram per liter of pearl powder to break up the whiteness :p

Very good but your not painting the body outside are you lol

Hell ya -4 and all lol

One of about 15 cars iv sprayed outdoors. Perfect weather for it.. no flys gotta watch the frost tho lol

Aslong as u treat and sand each coat your fine spraying outside. :). You cant muiltcoat outdoors cause u have half a tree init lol

Lol I would be concerned for bubbling of the paint on application but if it works!

Your invited to hand sand it with me if u wanna see for ya self lol

Mate I can barely sandy nails with an emery board at the moment with my health but a kind offer none the less lol

Lol i know feeling i have 2 damaged thumbs and right index finger are very sore from hand sanding. U just cant get the smooth and perfect edge sanding with any tool.

7 patchs of weld as been done. Due to my picky poking at all holes. Ill upload pictures in morning.

Hope u guys. didnt miss me and expect another escort project to die lol

Welcome back, was wondering where you were lol.

What's the plan, think you will get 'er done this year?

Was just recently wondering where the updates were.

Looking much tidier now.

Looking forward to this one proceeding apace now.

Glad your back, was looking forward to seeing this finished. :)

Sadly i lost my job due to being hit by forklift and been suffering with my back :(

Ah man, that sucks. I share your back pain as I'm sure Clive does too!
