Cheers,

 

Im excited to start putting bits back on!

 

TBH, its a bit rough as my garage booth 'prep' didnt really improve much from last time (weather too shite/driveway too full to move everything out and set up properly)  but i did replace the pressure switch on my compressor and put new orings though my cheap paint guns and that made sufficient improvement to feel that dust all though everything isnt so bad...

It is semi part of the plan tho, I figure if the body paint is 'a bit iffy' then it wont be such an obvious clash with the signwritten doors which i havnt touched.

The tail gate and lift are dark blue and ratty from the parts car stash, but i did paint the bonnet. (I just couldnt help it).

Me too!

 

They are in excellent condition rust wise.

 

I just wish that whoever painted the car from wine red to blue for Nautilus Marine back in the 70's or whatever had done a better job of the prep - pretty sure they didnt remove anything, just masked off  and gave it a quick wipe down, and the paint is all falling off all the nooks and crannies and areas where wax or grime accumulated.

 

(the irony of 'purposely'* doing another shitty paint job to match is not lost on me)

Im hoping to use it around new years towing the escort trailer to whakatane and beyond, so wagnats should (in theory) be a doddle.

 

hints and tips for nice campgrounds to use around the east cape and etc welcomed, Id better start booking them!
