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).

just a bump to let you know it's still going slow. had no time this holiday weekend to work on the car. friday--worked late, saturday-- felled a tree then rushed home for Canada Day Party, sunday drove to Charlottetown and back-- 800km for a 6 hour outdoor concert (Hedley, Theory Of A Dead Man and Three Days Grace) and Monday mowing, gardening, cleaning the Tracker and had to come to work to finish work i started on friday.
