Did all the colour change tricky bits today.

Wet sanding tomorrow and first top coat if the weather holds up.

Don't know if I'll get it done before DOVW now.

Looks good Pete.

You've got bigger balls than me.. I reckon i'd do a better job with a brush than a spray gun! haha.

Don't assume that I know what I'm doing

If I did I probably wouldn't have started.

It takes a special blend of ignorance and optimism to start these projects.

Masochism is what makes you finish.

pete you crazy cat, well done.

**Peter Jones** · 25-10-2009, 08:56 AM

It's all rubbed back and ready for top coat now but the weather is no good to spray. It's currently cold, wet and windy

.

Hopefully next weekend will be warm. I've the weekend plus Monday and Cup Day to work on this, swap a MK1 gearbox (hopefully) and race at Sandown

Good Colour and Nice work.
DOVW you can do it, its 3 weeks still isnt it?

**Peter Jones** · 25-10-2009, 09:01 AM

Still might make it, just depends on the weather.

If I can get it mostly back together I'll take it down on the trailer.

DOVW is 15 November.

awesome progress Pete

getting me all ramped up to paint my thing (finally!)

**Peter Jones** · 25-10-2009, 01:55 PM

The sun's come out to play. Two coats on and going for a third now. Pics later.

Pete

**Peter Jones** · 25-10-2009, 06:25 PM

It's all red now. The paint went on well. There's a couple of little areas I missed in the prep but we'll just live with them now

We'll colour sand during the week and aim to buff the red next weekend. If the weather's OK then the clear can go on.

Pete
