Excellent progress going there..

For some reason, I love a tidy and spotless underneath..

Does that sound rude? :fear:

[ed4ran]

hehehe a bit more colour now on.......







some slight areas where the paint aint quite thick enough so will do some more tomos.
(it ony shows with the cameras flash!!!)

.....and next on to the outside (yes my method seems strange, but it works for me)

How many tins of hammerite is that? are you spraying it on?

[ed4ran]

Yep im spraying it on, :grin:

I bought 4 litres of Black (in 1L tins) for the body, and 2.5 for the roof and wheels with a 5L tin of Thinners ( requires a 2:1 mix )

Im on the 3rd (with just over half left) tin after doing the underneath and inside.
So Looks like ive got enough to do what i want!!

It goes on nice and thick and settles well.

[Dog]

So in taking about it... you used about sa 6L of spary hammerite?

[Dog]

Also how much did it cost you for all that paint?

I am thinking of doing the pickup in almost the same

[ed4ran]

Ive sprayed about 4L at a rough guess :erm:
But still got the outside todo.

[ed4ran]

£102 inc P+P which i thought was pretty good :grin:

[Dog]

Are they cans of spary or have you got a air compressor and done it that way?

[ed4ran]

Air compressor, in the first pic of the inside sprayed you can see the handle of it!

[ed4ran]

Done a bit of preping but not much painting.

Also done some cleaning and dismantalling of the front brakes.

Before:




After:




and next i will paint them and rebuild (after i get all the little dirty bits cleaned).

:grin: WOOOOT ITS ALIVE!!!!

T'other day a friend came round and instead of boring them with sanding stuff we decided to try starting the engine, and after changing the coil, and cleaning the points + plugs Olive exploded into life!!!! and she was very loud as the exhaust wasnt on
After she was running we then put the exhaust on and she sounds alot better.

Recently i have stripped and painted the roof,
and today me and Jim wet sanded it, and soon ill give it one last coat.

[Jammy]

She's coming on a beaut!! They sound like tractors without the exhaust on don't they!

[ed4ran]

I thought it was more like a monster V8 especially when we reved it!!!

[ed4ran]

heres 2 ugly buggers wet sanding Olives roof.....
