It'll get there mate - Got the panels into the college today and hopefully shoot some primer either tomorrow or Wed then get the panels back home sometime next week as I want to let them dry/cure then get the bumpers and bonnet done so that's all the panel work done and the whole shell can be painted at once so it's all the same colour :)
good plan bud, get some pics
Will do I'll take some tomorrow - The early boot I'm using is in a wee bit of a mess, must be about 4 layers of paint on it lol Plus Hammerite on the back side
Hopefully a lot of attention to detail will sort that out also hoping to get the locks and wiper hole flushed off tomorrow as well :)
It'll be interesting to see what you've go planned for the bumpers then buddy!
Humm, with Andy doing his in upol gray, and you Vaughan doing yours in Volvo grew, I'm thinking is it worth getting my mk1 bumpers done while it's in the body shop?.?.?
Anyone got any pics of the Volvo gray, and any code info on both paints, just in case i need them for the sprayer.

I would get them painted mate, saves time bumper gelling them to keep them fresh looking
Got some pics of what I've been up to on this project - Only if my phone would work...
OK some bodyshop/College pictures of what's been happening to the Mk1 - Early bootlid all sanded down. Down through black Hammerite, green, red then the original China Blue colour
Got a few wee dents over it and some pinholes of rot along the bottom but we're going to lead fill them so it's good metal going back in and not cataloy - Going to be plugging the lock, wiper and washer holes with lead as well:

Proper way to delock doors - Going to use a wee bit of stopper tomorrow to fill it a wee bit and crack on with the passenger door then hopefully in the afternoon we'll shoot some primer :)
Cheers, Vaughan
all looks good mate,
how come you are putting a gsi spoiler one the mk 1 ??
got a mk 1 gte spoiler if you need one.
Edd.
Quite like the look of the GSi spoiler on the early boot on a Mk1 :)
Iain's Sport, Karl Rowntree's Nova
Keith's and Nick Jackson's old Nova have the early boot with GSi spoiler as well
Got a wrap around here as well but GSi will be smarter
Do you not need to weld in the blanking plates if you're lead filling?
