Finally...

Post by Roelof »

Today i finally finished painting the car. After two years (in which our son was born, we moved, renovated our new home...) i finally found the time.

Welding was done to the rockers and allmost all other panels. I had the tricky welding stuff by a local guy. See this post from two years back : viewtopic.php?f=52&t=7191

Did all the prepping and the easy welding stuff myself. It looks pretty straight. Some overspray, as it is a home paintjob and i do not have air filters, but after some polishing it will look fine.... BIG chear for the wife who only complained once (after covering the newly painted garage in fine red dust with a power sander). Now assemble it and have it road approved. Hopefully this summer.
