Another Project

[:(!] So much for the guy we got him off doing all the brakes!.

I thought I would have a quick look while I was waiting for the aqua steel to dry. Took the drum off and both cylinders were leaking and the new shoes were soaking wet :(:(

Hi Colin

I am struggling to find the time or energy to get on with Ed [V] I have put the passenger side front wing back on, took the drivers side off and done loads more welding on the drivers side inner wing, ready to put the wing back on when we get better weather, then I need to work backwards with the welding torch. It may be ready for Valentines day Next Year [:0][B)]

[:(!]Had a few mishaps while spraying this weekend, I treated myself to an air feed mask which runs off the compressor. I thought I'd better use a low pressure spray gun so as not to use a lot of air as the mask uses quite a lot. The gun was rubbish and after I painted the bonnet and a couple of doors I give up as they looked like I had used hammerite on them.[V]

I got my old gun out and started again. This time much better although I did run out of paint.:p
