Crapbag lol ok I'll wait!

Wish my garage was empty and not full of crap!! So I could get it in and work on it properly

All I'm saying is I have been contacted by a photographer whose interested in doing a shoot on the car when it's finished.

He's done a few features for PVW and others I believe (one in the current PVW) so we'll have to see where it ends up :) :) :)

Seriously buzzin and boosted my motorvation to get it finished.

Sweet build mate! Just inspires me more to get saving and do my 6n :p lush though! well done, and good luck with the photographer

Cheers man appreciate it.

It'll all be arranged once the cars finished.

postman was kind to me today.

new gold bolts turned up for the TT filler cap:

and also my new Italian red leather gearstick and hand brake gaitor:

Jonnyboi, trust me...by the time its finished itll look 1000000000000000 times better and blend in perfectly.

I'm sure it will

And i love your hair!! Reminds me of a mate I have!

the gold bolts is part 1...part 2 will be when its finished.

is that a compliment haha.

its a hell of alot longer than how it looks in the pictures...plus i have 4 months of beard haha.

More like Harry off of Harry and the Hendersons.

Ye, forgot to resize them...but they do auto reduce once the page has loaded.

Get on with it? I've pretty much single handedly prepped a whole car for full repaint in 5 1/2 days haha.

Like to see you do any better.

They do on my end.

There will be more updates tomorrow.

DAY 7

right then, final day of prep work...i managed to rope in 2 blokes i work with to help me out on this.

i wanted it up on all fours but couldnt be arsed with blocks of wood...so out with the car lift :)

it wouldnt go under the car as it was so had to jack the back up to get it under.

who needs air for lows when you can have hydraulics for highs haha.

sanded, scraped, butchered, etc. all the stonechip off so that they were all back to clean metal.

the sills were mint, no rot at all.

we straightened out the spine as theyd bent slightly through previous poor jacking ups.

in with filler [pretty much the same on the other side aswell]

resmoothed jacking point marks:

smoothed the sill join off:

tapped down and tightly skimmed a part i wasnt happy with:

drivers sill filled up:

bagged for primer:

this pictures better than the ones i posted the other day for what it looks like fitted:

and how she sits now...all prepped, repaired and in primer.

next weekend, fingers crossed i will be painting her :)

all the work thats gone on and the roofs still shining

no wonder i get so many people turning heads at me when this is what she looks like haha.

ROLL ON NEXT WEEKEND FOR PAINT!!

just might look odd with the badge smoothed out ..

Can't be arsed with the hassle of poppers tbh.

the paint supplier we use at work was very kind to me today.

As said to you at the poloshow, the only thing letting your car down was the rust on the arches....this is going to be epic when its finished and how cool is it that you get to do the work all yourself....look forward to lots of pics rob

and i agreed haha.

hopefully then you wont have anything to pick up on haha.

as i said before, still got some tricks up my sleeve

yeh I'm thinking about coming along in the A3 just for a weekend away, get drunk and have a laugh lol

cant wait to see the outcome mate

i think once the Steffans are back on itll bring the whole car back together.

roll on saturday :)

what base coat you gona use pearl sliver ???

Why would I base it in silver first?

It's straight 2k gloss, this shit covers anything cause it's commercial based paint.

Plus if I need to base anything, I'll just use white wet on wet primer.
