Looks really good. Front not as bad as I thought. Pretty good for such an old car

Take your time and get it right. Result depends on how meticulas you are now

Is there a piano in the next shot?

Sorry, no offence intended!

No worries Iain, piano free zone!!
Thanks Alan, it isn't too bad is it! Looking forward to getting it back on the road! Managed to get some primer on some of it tonight!

Excellent progress - amazing to see so little filler in the front end!

Phil · 7th March 2011, 22:38

Cheers! I hope it looks ok once I get the top coat on, but even if it doesn't. I will redo it properly in the summer when it is a more suitable temperature for painting and hopefully paint the whole thing!

Well it's cold in his garage, the poor mite would freeze to death before he got anywhere near finished.

Well he could just turn the nozzle on his rear end for a micro second, should warm him up

Allowing that it is a gas welder

Anyway, thought they were supposed to be a hardy lot on the border
