Not that I'm one to tease - much - but what cowboy painted it last time?
Live and learn eh...
Can't wait to see it - I've no doubt it will be superb and (this time) will last.

thanks brian, fairly pleased with how its coming, i was dissapointed with the initial finish which was due to poor quality laquer however if you put enough on and then flat hell out of it it generally will sort out, as my working conditions are far from ideal i tend to only use a cheaper laquer as i have to flat and polish because of dirt in the air and paint anyway

Is it the light or the level of shine but going back to the top of the thread it looks more golden less chocolate. The other difference is - to my eye at least - it sits so much better on those wheels.
Paint is ever close inspection - you pleased?
Anything else on the "needs improvement" list?

a little more progress, started by changing the headlamps for some new old stock items that i had, genuine carello, built up the front end with trim and bumper etc, new badges fitted all round, nos rear reflectors and nos rear lamp lenses, i filled the trim strips with windsreen sealant before fitting this is the mastic none setting black goo to stop any water collecting and causing rot, i re-dyed the carpets ( back to black ) this was done very easily with spray/aerosol dye, hopefully it will last , i refitted them all and the rear screen and rear seat and seat belts, also waxoiled down the sills A posts and qtrs and door bottoms, started to fit the boot out after redying the origional boot mat, i've managed to find an origional BRAND NEW TOOL KIT!!! so needless to say thats in there now  , i've done varios other jobs and i'm gradually just chipping away at it, hopefully it will be finished in the next 2 weeks |
