day two (today)
todays little update:
sadly the camera hasn't focused too well on the car when being welded/filled, i think in a small window it will surfice though, that will be up sometime tomorrow.
todays mods consisted of:
removing and welding over the wing repeaters, and ariel hole, along with the boot emblem and then repairing the wings as they were dented. this was done and i got it into the booth for primer last thing, also managed to get one of my guys start the fusor process on the sills, this was also being filmed closer up
pictures of todays work, nothing dramatic mind haha

decided to refurb the steering wheel and gear knob,
first step was to mask it up,
(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y192/cuprajake/LGIM1131.jpg)
then i used a thinner to dissolve any contaminants, once dry i used 2000's paper to key the parts
(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y192/cuprajake/LGIM1132.jpg)
then applied some adhesion promotor. then applied dye with my gun,
-
heres the results,

I'm too far away. To be honest I think you're better off setting a date and those who can come will and those who can't, won't.
-
ok dates april 3rd its a sat (easter sunday) or the 10th again a sat,
im thinking sat as its hard trying to get workers in on a sunday, unless sats will cause major problems
-
fitted a kenwood headunit today, promised yself and the mrs i wasnt going to go audio mad on this car, and for just a headunit. the std speakers sound very good
