update again i havent been able to get to do some work on her of late..


Its funny when you havent got time to do a few bits and then when you do how relaxing it is and satisfiying when you do..

I took the Hard top off today and i am about to swap the Cnavass and sticks from the 88" so swaps,,

Started to sand back the bodywork now ready to paint..

Got to fit the Fabricated top rail and out the Wings back on and then dropp the oil out etc and she will be nealey ready for MOT.. :roll:

I am really looking forwad to painting her ..i will get some pics up when i rember..

another update ..

I sanded all the bodywork down today with 80 Grit...yes..80 grit it was the only thing to budge layered paint and it did the trick great!!

Do we think 120 or 100 next????...any advice on finishing grade paper??

I have the rag top on now and after sanding down to finish it will be primer...trouble is ihave heared etch primer is espensive and does not go far??

i have been told that Hamerite do a " special Metal Primer????...

or indeed would i need it as it is not down to the bare metal just flated off the old paintwork like..?

I have fitted a rear tailgate now which looks much better ...funny how the Lightweights look so better with a rag top on...

i thinks its gotta be Green when finished ...original i know..

any comments on finishing grade paper welcome..ps am i right in thinking wet and dry would be best..

if you havent stripped the old paint right off you wont need etch primer just normal stuff. if youve took it back to bare metal the you need an etch primer or the hammerite stuff.
