A bit more refurbing.
1st the heater was stripped down and painted.

All back together.
20180610_132313_006.jpg
 
Then I went onto DSN Classics website - That was a mistake.
And this happened.
20180714_115703_004.jpg
 
Column refurbed.

20180610_124121_002.jpg
 
Mods done to looms.
20180610_191158_005.jpg
 
Lights refurbed.
20180610_112709_001.jpg
 
And this is how OCD I'm getting, I refurbed the catches on the opening rear quarterlight windows.
Before.

After.

I've been looking for centre caps for the KN Mercury wheels since I'd got them but couldn't find any so I made a set myself.

I found that spray can caps fit the centre hole.

And after that I painted the garage floor too.

Back from the bodyshop to my mates workshop (because he's got a lift) with the inside, engine bay and boot painted so she can be made into a rolling shell ready for the body paint.

Base Coat.

Laquer.

Shiny, Shiny.
20180809_214429_Burst01.jpg
 
It's official The Tart is black. 4 coats of base coat and a drop coat. 5 coats of laquer. I have to add I did not paint her as I'm not good enough. Painted by Morgans Bodyshop in Crickhowell.
 
Awesome paint job.
