Not much to report just dug out a few old bits n bobs not being re-fitted but just to jog my memory for more stuff to order, making plans to buy the paint and start rubbing everything down ready for spraying and fitting in the next few weeks

Well I managed to order all the paint and stuff to spray the 2a in a couple of weeks time providing I can get the time off as we are spraying everything off the car so will need time fitting it all afterwards once its all dry, I've ordered all the body seals inc a new safari door but not the door seals as I will have to get them next payday as with a few other bit's n bob's

Well all the paint and stuff has arrived inc my new safari rear door so once my holidays have been accepted at work I can then get everything ready for spraying

No just the garage with all the doors open.

hef19898 · Apr 8, 2019

Wow, I didn't have the courage to try that in the end!

Yeah when my dad use to do his spraying in his garage he had all the doors closed and just used them mouth/nose masks and the garage was full of spray mist, with mine we had all the doors open less mist.

Fitted the tub and bulkhead today with help from a mate

cornish rattler · Apr 8, 2019

I'm going to tread plate the inside of the tub later just need to buy some tub seatbelt brackets as the tub to floor fixing bolts snapped when I was undoing them

Fitted the Capping's earlier today, sadly we ended up spraying them Silver due to there not being any series capping's available yes there was the odd capping here and there but from different suppliers and didn't want to get different galvanising finisher's, I could have got them galvanised but that would have put me back a bit so with the capping's them self's being in good nick just heavily faded we decided on spraying them, anyway here's the pic's
