ready for paint soon?

Looking damn good. You are going to have a better finish on your metal than new cars get on the finished paint!

If you have a look around the interweb, there was a Lotus Cortina on Fast n Loud last night

I have to confess that I thought you'd put the same photos on a second time - then realised that your "rough work" is still better than my finished job!

Yes, another inspirational thread by Chap Foose that will be followed religiously until the "drool point" conclusion!

Cheers mate.

Paint stripped the passenger door.Had a tap about with the roof as it was in a bad way.
I think the roof had been walked on at some stage.Skimmed the whole roof and o/s rear quarter.

Hi Paul
I have been following your blog with great interest and envy
What a fantastic job you are making of your car with astonishing attention to detail. I realise that you are doing this project for yourself but would you consider taking on a paying project?

Thanks Ian.
Very busy at the moment and have a couple of other restorations lined up already.
Im not taking anymore on at the moment as I don't want to let anyone down.
Thanks Paul

Hmm, you'd make a lousy builder Paul!

My next door neighbour and his other neighbour have had - or are having - building work done. So three houses in a row have had builders in the last couple of months and have all been promised start and completions times which have turned out to be somewhat fictitious! I am starting to wonder how builders ever stay married - "I'm coming" they keep saying, then do a small spurt and disappear!
