:D:D All going well THEN DISASTER STRUCK [:0] I mixed the top coat of 2 pack paint, started spraying when I lost air pressure, I checked the compressor and plumes of smoke coming from my old faithfull compressor motor, [:(!][:(!],
A quick phone call to a friend in Halifax to borrow his compressor, then a 70 mile round trip on the M62 to collect it before the hardner in the paint goes off. :(:(

Two coats of paint and she is looking good, (colour in picture don't do justice)'
A couple of runs that I will have to compound out, But since the last time I did any spraying was over 20 years ago I am well chuffed :D:D:D:D

Too right his progress is relentless, ;)
If I have to do all the Cooking, Washing, Cleaning and Gardening while on my holidays then Bernie can spend 10 hours a day in the operating Mansion during his holidays. [:eek:)]
And there is still a long way to go :(
But he is getting there [^] [^]​

the fit on the panels looks great and they really do look the part, a job well done by martin i think, and he gets an aplause from me for his hard work in getting them made, well done mart, im sure others will feel the same.just one question though;):p with regards to the fitting of the panels can i ask how and where you stick or put the clue in order to get them to stay secure onto the van, and does it set rock hard.or better still can you take a few piccies next time you fit the other side to show us all how its done. the vans looking great, keep up the excellent work.
