tucked up for the night
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...n/S7302954.jpg
a pic of some of the filler dust lmfao. my garage is officially bogging
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...n/S7302955.jpg
i have one of thoses sanding blocks they are ace and top job your doing too.
Spot on dude thats really coming along well, i bet you were glad to finish sanding back all of the fibreglass on the roof werent ya lol
Keep it up though bud its looking impressive:thumb:
well todays task was the rear quarters and paint the bonnet.
the bonnet is an epic fail!!! basically the paint didnt cover the blemishes which meant i had to primer it. so tried primering and that reacted:mad: so put that to one side and got on with the quarters
first set up the radio :p
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...n/S7302960.jpg
then as with the roof i decided best course of action was rip the fibreglass off, didnt get a pic but this is with the first skim of filler
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...n/S7302956.jpg
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...n/S7302957.jpg
then basically rubbing down and more layers
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...n/S7302959.jpg
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...n/S7302961.jpg
using the string to get an idea of where the line is supposed to be
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...n/S7302962.jpg
not the best pics but they are basically there. need a little skim here and there but im happy with how they are going. its patchy because its a guide coat
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...n/S7302963.jpg
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...n/S7302964.jpg
Its Matt paint you're using yeah? Its a right tit for reacting with everything in sight and tends to be pretty thin. It will show up any blemishes and doesnt take a 2nd or 3rd coat too well mate. CHances are you'll need to rub the bonnet right back and give it a real good cleaning before priming it again.
Epic work by the way.
Its getting there, looking good progress. how long till you think its done?
err about 2 and half weeks lol
Good progress Mr Burgo, all that sanding doesn't look like fun though!
A tip for filling. When you do a 2nd or 3rd skim, allways do the whole thing, dont do it in lil bits.
It makes for more rubbing down but the fill will be better and leveler/smoother.
P.s looks funking cool.
my back and arms are killing me and i keep getting nose bleeds from the dust :eek: not good.Quote:

Looking good. I'm sure its been asked before but I assume it's going a factory colour to make it look like it came as factory estate?
It's going matt black I believe lol
Looking good chap :D
