well it's started. i rough sanded down the topcoat and i will begin the hand sanding tomorrow. filled in a lot of bumps, scratches and ridges. i couldn't feel most of them but my buddy Jim says "it has to be smooooooooth!". doing a bit every day and hope to get to pulling things off (mirrors, heads, tails, etc) this weekend and start priming the engine bonnet, backhatch and doors. i am painting it 199 (Alpine Silver Metallic).
here are a few pics of the progress-- from before i started to what it loooked like this afternoon:     it's so ugly now, it turns as many heads as the day i bought it (i know i'm an eternal optimist). This post has been edited by axelrduvirage: Jul 19, 2006 - 4:43 AM --------------------  |

long day...seems once more i got nothing done. sanded the nose some more. filled a few last (hopefully) nicks and scratches. bloody weather is going to be crap all weekend. on the plus side i am learning how to mask. not an easy job, very slow and meticulous. anyway, add another week to the calendar 'cus it's going a lot slower than i expected.
cheers -------------------- |
