Finally got some painting done these past four days. Now I am totally exhausted and fed up with sanding. It has been very hot here 35 celsius (think thats 90 fahrenheit?) so work has been toresome. Even the dogs just lie around listlessly!

I am very happy to be where I am. My goal was to get all outstanding surfaces in paint. This included 4 doors, spat plates and fule flap. As usual my amateur paint technique did leave much to be desired. Some drips, lots of orange peel, so a lot of sanding and polishing left, but that is the way of the back yard mechanic, or in this case spray painter/panel beater.

I also fixed the situation on the rear panel and at last found a fual cap.

Now is left:

- fitting doors
- fitting door innards (not lookin forward to this!!!)
- fitting chrome parts
- redoing interior
