Nope its not a failure. Only a failure if the panel is structual or a sharp edge could be a hazard.

Thats what ive been told anyway. And its never failed on it.

Ooo i nice job so far mate. I want to see the paint job. 2pac black

[Jordie]

Didnt know that pie, thanks.

Cheers noscorp. I cant wait for it to be finished.

Also another tip for you Jordie. If you want stunning results from paint. As in as little work as possible to get an outstanding shine. Dont do two pack, and dont do celly. Do basecoat and clear

Works an absolute treat. If you keep on top of it it will last as long and sometimes longer then the two above.

Just another small tip that goes a long way, and its cheaper than two pack or celly.

[Jordie]

2 pack is the way im going and we have a polisher to remove any defects. 2 pack gives you a deeper finish so you can take it back abit to get a brilliant mirror finish.

[Pie]

Basecoat and clear gives mirror finish too

Woody has said no closing panels is an MOT fail, but I think it would be a very harsh fail!

But, please, for the love of god, drill or cut open the drainage bits on your sills!!

[Jordie]

Am going to drill them.

Rubbing down of the body starts tomorrow.

[Jordie]

flatting back as started....



Got rid of the filler from the scuttle seams, looking so much better now the line and shape is back.



More flatting back





Hopefully, if i get my finger out tomorrow and get it flatted back fully, it will be painted at the end of next week.

Wooooop!







Bugger of a job, but it went in the end and with help of the space heater, it went in nicely....





Shiny....still needs a buff over with some G10 and a wash because of the dust thats blown into the sprayshop.




I love how you can see the reflection of the roof and the dust sheet hanging from it.
