110% respect!

(You should invest in some shoelaces )

Haha yeah, thats what happened when the grinder decided to attack my foot

[GOLFBALLS]

So you're cutting out those sections with a regular grinder?

[ross_m]

Only the big cuts or big sections. For the small hard to reach bits I use a dremel or air powered cut off tool.

[GOLFBALLS]

Hmmm, gotta get me a dremel!!

Theres been a lot of progress lately I just didnt upload any pics because im that busy working on it!

Few pics from the last few weeks..

Borrowed an arch roller from stbaz (thanks again!) and I now want one :p Great tool.



Managed to get a solid door to replace one of mine which was too far gone to bother with and a solid tailgate.

Doors all prepped



Prep work on the shell pretty much finished at this point





And heres some pics from the weekend just passed

All masked up, degreased etc ready for spraying





And here it is in barcoat. good to see it all in one colour! Its coming on









Next weekend I'll get it in high build primer.

I can't wait to see this finished, it looks like there's a lot of attention to detail going into the build.

keep it up Ross!

Looking good. light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter!

[GoLfMan]

inspirational for me! My shell is nearly at that stage too. Keep up the awesome work mate!

What are you spraying it in. 2 pac or acrylic?

[ross_m]

Thanks guys.

Im using cellulose paint

[GoLfMan]

Thanks guys.

Im using cellulose paint

'scuse the ignorance. Whats that?

[ross_m]

Its just another type of paint. A lot safer to use without an air fed mask than 2 pack. Its actually illegal to spray cars with this in the trade now I think. But it is still sold if you know where to look. They just advertised it to be used for other purposes.

yeh 2pack is very dangerous. I might have to do some research on cellulose paint. I need to go paint shopping soon..........

[ross_m]

Now in white high build primer







And yes it is very cramped and a nightmare to spray like this But theres nothing I can do about that. It looks more cramped in the pics than it is though I think.

With some luck it will be in olde english white by sunday night!

[GoLfMan]

well done mate! Getting me all motivated to paint mine, I'm awfully close too!

[ross_m]

The car is now officially olde english white






























Now its time to put it all back together. The best bit!
