Not sure how well the drivers door is going to turn out.

its alright mate, once you have plastered it in mud the paint work isnt really noticeable anyways

That's true. Just got to fit passenger door and paint the hard to get to bits.

Been out and looked at it. Not as bad as I thought it was gonna look. Need to tidy up the hard to get to places then see if I can be arsed to get on with the cutting, patching, welding and more painting.

I was thinking I may just paint the scuttle, windscreen surround and roof as there is very little cutting and bodging required. We are making progress though.

It's a bit cold so I've been using a convector radiator to warm the wheels up. Seems to have worked quite well.

they look really nice man! you gonna laquer coat them or anything for a bit of extra protection?

Post by **Jordi** » Wed Oct 23, 2013 1:10 pm

Nah. Lacquer can be a batch to get back off. If they are just painted makes easier to give them a quick rub down and touch up.

Up close they aren't perfect but the body work will eventually all be rollered so a few runs in the wheels ain't gonna make it look any worse. Lol.

those wheels look spot on mate, I wanna re psint my white ones but I dont wanna loose the red and white pin stripes round the edges

Post by **Jordi** » Wed Oct 23, 2013 1:37 pm

These were corroded and peeling so I couldn't make them any worse. Wouldn't like to try and replicate the pinstripe.

Just don't know which bit to do next as it all involves a bit of cutting and welding. Was hoping to have acquired a pipe bender by now to do a tray back. Was borrowing one off a mate but it hasn't materialised yet.
