Know all about the panel by panel, night by night ... but the awesome thing about doing it that way is that you look around and without realising it 3 weeks have passed, and a section is "suddenly" completed. The hard work shows up supprisingly. Awesome feeling.

Took the rims to the panelbeater to get painted. Hopefully I will get it back during the week and put on the new tyres.

Took the ply wood piece to the wood shop yesterday to get it cut straight for the hatch in the roof. Put a layer of varnish on it today.

The ply wood is fitted to the hatch. I also painted the door panels roof and kick boards grey. Fitted them, sort off. Didnt realise how many skrews you need for all these panels. Will buy some more tomorrow.

Still no luck with the spray of the rims and bumpers, hold thumbs for this week. Also bussy with the rubbers that they mould, hope it is the effort worth.

OK pics for Blits.
Wood on the hatch.

Roof lining in trim not in.

Front door panels and seats in. repaired the corners and paint it again. Beter but still not perfect.

Waiting for my rims and bumpers from the panelbeater/spraypainter.

Waiting for the window rubbers.

This teach me patience

Meantime I change the exhaust wanted to put a bus silencer on but the j pipes were rotten, so put an old cowley on will find out if I like the sound one of these days.
