Almost there!!!

[Mrk_Mickey]

Getting so close I can feel it!

It's an awesome feeling of accomplishment, I must say. and I COULDN'T HAVE UPDATED WHAT I DID WITHOUT HELP OF MY MATES! Thankyou to Alex and Jason and somewhat Anthony muahahaha.

So apparently the plastics are sprayed and I'll be able to wetsand them tomorrow..

Progress today is beginning the wetsanding on the exterior. I'll be doing one panel per time start to finish so that it's less daunting (breaking down the jobs makes it easier to accomplish: smaller goals=easier). Rear quarters are currently done, will move to the fenders later

[Water Boy]

Good work mate!

[mrlex]

Nice one, arms like the hulk!

[Mrk_Mickey]

Nice one, arms like the hulk!

Definitely getting that way! hahah.

I did the mirrors too! woo!

[Mrk_Mickey]

Roof, two of four doors, side skirts and some more interior sill fiddly stuff done today.

STILL waiting for plastics and final hi-fill on repaired areas.......the only areas I haven't prepped on the car yet are those areas and they've been waiting to be finished for two weeks. Argh!

Here's hoping. My mate knows my deadline, I'm now relying solely on him for his help finishing repairs and hi-filling so I can wetsand and have the car ready for the spray booth.

I didn't know you didn't know I was spraying my car...although I should have worked it out because you haven't bagged on me for not having it done yet hehe

WARNING: Rely on yourself only if you wish to do it. Don't try and finish jobs like this having to rely on friends with resources because it doesn't work.



There's just a few things left on my list now:
-wetsand plastics
-shape and hi-fill the hatch
-hi-fill the front left door and bonnet
-wetsand those areas and finish wetsanding the door channels

Then the car is ready. I'm still hoping I can get most of that done tomorrow, but who knows...my mate and I are going to hope to have it in the spray booth on Monday the 3rd of May (two mondays time).

Thought I'd finish the plastics this afternoon after work but I didn't forsee so much wetsanding involved! Here's what I finished:

[Pullstarter]

Good results Micky, should paint up well nice.

[Mrk_Mickey]

Well I have another update...

I got sick of waiting for my mate so I tackled the hatch tonight. It took like three hours, but was surprisingly less skill-involved than I thought! I thought I'd screw it up quickly if I made a mistake (40grit sandpaper...) but it was quite easy to shape, albeit a long process.

It's not 100% finished, there's an area above the P plate that is a little hazy and a high spot over toward the last quarter on the right hand side of the hatch. Close enough for tonight though!
