Looking great guys - you're really rocking now!
Did you spray the underseal on?

;)

Yeah. I find it's much easier to get into those hard to reach places using a spray as opposed to a brush.

Day 4.

Just in from another fun day's sanding and preping. At least we're finally starting to see progress though. Hopefully tomorrow should see the last of the body work.

I'm off out to get some more wet and dry :lol: , so here's a couple of pics for everyone to enjoy;

And so comes to an end, day 5! I'm starting to feel up against it now. Or maybe that's just the chronic sunburn I'm sporting at the moment. Cold bath in 10 me thinks!

So to todays work.

We started off by rubbing back some of the bodywork again, in the areas that still needed attention;

Whilst by no means do we plan on getting the body arrow straight (that'll take weeks), and we don't intend for it to be perfect (it wouldn't suit Nic if it was :lol: ), we did want to do the best job we could given timescale and budget (short and little - like Nic!).

Whilst this was going on we also tarted up the dash, and started sizing up the cab interior;

Excuse the stain on the seat. :shock: :p
 
We then primered the top half, and took the bus to Kev's as we needed to use his garage;

Don't worry we took the paper out of the windows for the short journey down there.

A couple of hours later, and out he rolled;

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, brown!
 
It was then time for a quick refit, well front and rear lights, then back up to mine;

The paint has a couple of issues that need sorting, but considering the timescale and costs, I'm more than happy. Just gotta leave it a couple of weeks before we can start polishing out the odd runs here and there. Not sure when we'll get round to doing the roof.

Tomorrow should hopefully see me finish most of the refit and wiring.

Laters. :D
