Alternator adjuster bracket fitted:



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Cleaned up sump and re-fitted with polished sump bolt kit, yes i know theres a bolt missing but its in there now!



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My Spray booth converted garage lol



And also all my brake stuff came so spent an hour on the lines (Then engine can be dropped in w00p)



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well happy after today, Darren done a really god job and is certainly a dab hand with the spray gun and filler work!

Firstly we masked off all the openings:


Whilst Darren was sorting and filling and smoothing the rear quater, i went over the car with P400 and scotch to give it its final key:


Rear quater in perfect shape:


Into the "spray booth" and panel wiped:






Painting began:






Shell finished, and todays work finished:






Next week all the panels will be done, then i can build it all back up to form a car again W0000P!
