Do it! You still planning on heading back to The Doc's sometime before the RR day?

I'm looking forward to the wheels being done tbh, I think they'll look pretty good when fitted

Its uploaded, take a butchers needs work that's happening tomorow. And I might do then go down for the rr day just for the sake of it. Could tweak a bit more aswell I suppose.

I've not really been feeling much love for the car recently, however......

I have spent most of today flying around country lanes/over fells keeping tabs on 6 groups of kids doing their Duke of Edinburgh award and after a very 'spirited' 16 mile drive home along B roads I can safely say i'm feeling the love again! It may be an 8v barge but it can still put a smile on my face

So as a result today's progress has been limited, but here is what I managed to get done:

Rocker cover looking slightly better:



After today's progress on the wheel it now looks like this:



The face of the wheel is sanded to perfection, just need to sand the paint off the lip & mask it up. Then it will be ready for paint

Rocker cover looks good.

My god, I was half way down the 2nd page! Been busy this week with non golf related things

One of which was treating a very poorly treated beemer to a machine polish:

The entire bodywork looked like this (worse in places!):





I think I removed about 75% of scratches and swirls but I didn't have a polish abrasive enough nor the time/patience to remove them all.

Finished:







Anyway, I today I managed to get the 2nd wheel sprayed up! Just needs a final coat of colour in the morning followed by lacquer and then the lip polished up nice and shiny

A quick pic as proof:
