Thanks for the tips on two pack Mark & Ed, I've done a few laquer paint jobs and a couple in enamel but I've never tackled two pack before, I'm going to give it a go because i like the high gloss finish that is achievable compared to laquer, should i buy a proper gun or is my old gun good enough, if it's going to make a difference i'd rather go the extra $ and get the right one.

G'day utesrule66, are the doors not fitting horizontally or verticaly, or is it in or out, hinges can be bent, holes lenthend but if the opening is too small you have problems, I learned the hard way I bought a wagon project once that someone had already started, the doors wouldn't even fit the openings at all, it was easier just to sell it on than to try and fix it.

Hi Pedro
I'll take some photos and post them for some advise on ways to fix the problem I have come this far now can't quit, I will have to fix it. thanks

pedro

G'day utesrule66, If you put your question in restoration help you'll get more feedback.

Back on the dodgy bros. rotissaree



This seat more acceptable Ret



Finished welding the hump



started on the subframe rails



Didn't have to do this as the engine I'm running is basically only a 186 but it'll help stiffen the old girl up.

As I lay rubber down the street I pray for traction I can keep, but if I spin and begin to slide please dear god protect my ride

Ain't nothin' wrong with a dodgy bros rotisserie - worked just fine for the FE 20 years ago!  :)

But this is all getting a little too much though Pedro - 3 photographic updates in 8 days?  What's in the water up there?  :D  Whatever it is (and we're assuming it's Bundy) - keep drinking it!  ;)

Thanks for the support folks, I'm just stoked to be able to finally be able to get stuck into the old girl, I'd be out in the shed all day everyday if i could, but there always seems to be something else that has to be done, I'd also like to say thanks to my wife Mezz for "tolerating" and supporting me while i do this, we have been together for thirty years so she has been tolerating me for a long time ;) :D :D

It'd have to be a bloody ripper to beat Pedro's latest efforts   ;D
