Some minor parts now sprayed like bolts and fuel cap and bonnet arms. Did the underside of the bonnet because I have been spraying all the visible panel surfaces in their correct orientation (ie. standing up or laying down) so after a day of drying I'll be able to lay the bonnet flat to finish sanding and spraying.

Cheers,

Sprayed bonnet and boot today. Looks crap. Didn't sand well enough and its so obvious in the finish... Strip back and do it again will definitely have to happen. Bugger!

Stripped the doors back and they need a whole lot of bogging. Lots of long dents running through them... Stuff that, time to focus on something else for a bit haha!

Changed to fitting the headlights. Used a H4 headlight wiring upgrade harness to convert the VR6 loom to fit the mk2 headlights. Also purchased some Osram night breaker bulbs that I use on the van, they work a treat.

Lets just say I'm relieved. The doors sucked. So many dings on them and some real bad pin stripe dents all the way along the drivers door. The front apron piece was also really bent up and was hard to get it to just look ok haha. Panel work sucks!! Glad all the major work is over now [emoji16] The paintjob is definitely acceptable for my standards given the conditions underneath my house and being my first time, very pleased with it. I welcome any criticism from whoever sees it in person [emoji28] Onwards!

Damn, so much progress and all I've done to the MK1 is put the seats back in.

Jealous of your garage.
