Mate, they'd throw away the key if they found out that I was doing such an inhumane thing... A crime against society...

These are all as of Xmas Eve. Since then we've rubbed back and re-primed the doors, finished finishing the rear quarters, and finished the nosecone.

Today I've bare metalled the boot, and we are working on the arse end of the car. This arvo we should have the sills finished and primed aswell.

Tomorrow I have to bare metal the bonnet and fix a few shit spots on it, and then we'll have the whole car in primer

Today we got everything from the A-pillars back in 2K primer

Tomorrow I'm going to strip and tidy up the bonnet, and finish the guards and nosecone ready for 2K primer tomorrow afternoon. Then I go back to work for a fortnight, and I'll order the paint ready to get some colour on in the 2nd half of January

At the moment we are on track for it to be on the road by my birthday (March 6) :spoton:

Rimothy, when you do the roof, start at one gutter, do just past the middle, then run around and go from the middle to the other gutter.

I can see you didnt do that with the primer just from the picks, not cruicial in primer, but if you do it that way it takes less sanding, very very crucial in top coat.

Apart from that looks cool as mate.

Get it ready and going so you can flee the nest, go on your epic road trip and come visit me

Cheers.

Sorry Chris, you're going to have to wait another 3 days to see it in colour

Got something in the mail today :spoton:

All of the paint, primer, paper etc I need to finish this thing. Even got the right colour!

We also stripped the bonnet and blocked back the roof and interior. Tomorrow we will go around the car, fine filling everything that needs a touch up and prime the bonnet and boot. With any luck, by Wednesday we should be getting colour onto the interior, door jams etc, then paint the outside on Thursday.

:party:
