Thanks, I just had quick look at your project thread, yours was certainly much worse then this, looking much better though :)

Anyway, got the n/s door fitted up -



Looking more like a car again now, feels like I'm actually getting somewhere now which is very nice. Also gave the inner wings & bulkhead a clean up & quick coat of red oxide primer -

Got me looking with grief on the dirt work involved.

Nasty but well worth it.

Your doing a fine job that well seperates the men from the boys.

"Great effort" cap it it with a good finish and your everyone's hero..:)

I don't think I'm doing that good of a job, I'm certainly no hero but thanks .

Be careful saying things like that Craigy as I might actually take you up on it

Got the boot cleaned & stonechipped today -





Also got the boot lid & bonnet prepped but didn't get any pics.

It isn't necessarily just for the under side, it's often used for the inside if floors. I will spray over it. I think it just will look better as the boot floor is a bit dented & has had a couple of repairs which would show up a lot more it was just painted. It also is more durable & gives a bit of sound deadening.
