    Popped out at lunch time today to see how matey boy is getting on. Prep work is nearly finished. Scuttle panel is in and looks good. Forgot to take a pic tho!
    Working on the roof now. Bit of a pig getting all the lacquer out of the grooves and hollows tho!

        Cant edit to see the progress pics on the paint! I actually prefer the progress to the finish [emoji51]

          When i was out there yesterday i took a wing mirror into the sun. Wow!!! 😍
          once the prep is finished the paint actually won't take that long. Once some paint is on I'll get some pics, Will need flatting and polishing after, then hopefully a big reveal in the sun with the metal flake shining!!! 😃

            Just had the following picture from matey boy, roof took ages to prep. (I knew this job would take a while as he's doing it between main work!)
            If you look really carefully you can just see the gold metal flake flip

            Next step is to get the barrier coat and then primer on the sides, flat back and spray top coat and laquer. Then just got to put it all back together before shifting it to mine and getting the interior back in!

                Looks great.

                Why final coat the roof before all the prep on the rest?

                  Impressive stuff!
                  On vans and bigger Stuff we painted and finished throof first to stop dragging over the sides to paint it.

                    What greeny said. Prep work is more or less finished on the sides.
                    I'm not a body work pro and matey doing the work knows what he's doing so I'm keeping me beak out 😁
                    I'm sure it'll be fine. Bloody hope so anyway!!!
                    Once he's finished the paint then my job of sticking it all back together starts!

                        Cheers dude. Looking forward to getting the paint on so I can get all the bits back together and interior back in. Really desperate to get away in it again!

                          I know these are a bit of a tease, I'm going out to see it tomorrow but I got sent a pic of part of it in the sunlight today......................
                          Ignore the 2 small marks, apparently that is just dust, although I'll be checking tomorrow
