Default Belated progress update

Trust you are all over the Christmas, NY and Straya day events and starting to get back into the work swing of things. I'm still ramping up so not yet over-loaded.

Whilst on holidays I took the bride up to Greg's place to see how preparations had progressed. The details as per the photos below.

No more yellow guide coat, at 7 years old it just wasn't cutting it anymore - lol



The rump including Marty's handiwork mounting the rear over-riders and bumper.





And the troublesome passenger door that is going to need some filling atop to be able to square it off. This may cause grief with the window frame already made to suit. We will see.





These photos were prior to any serious re-gapping being tackled, however that has since happened and am reliably told it will be about a week to full priming and then onwards to final coating.

Have also since been to see Duncan for trimming and have settled on the various fabrics and colours to get the whole shooting match made in one hit. It isn't going to be cheap but then quality work never is.

I am planning on fabricating the various cockpit kick panels before trimming so can see a short period between trades but I am planning on focussing my energies in this regard to make it happen.

In terms of body-paint protection while I do this and the later work of refitting gear, what sort of covers/sheets are suggested?

Cheers
