    Both wheel arches I personally replaced some years ago and just then painted them with some cellulose paint I had lying about but now time to strip these down . 15206502963161553687777.jpg e

    Poptop roof rack all done.Due to hairline cracks all over the roof he initially painted it with Reface to bond and fill all the imperfections than a high build plaserat primer before flatting and apply topcoat .

    Dashtop removed and will be bare metalled and then painted.Workshop is currently full of Bays but look carefully you can see a rare split oval Beetle quietly waiting in the shadows. 1521863535651-786549209.jpg 1521863571059-1884798473.jpg

    Outside is all ready for primer tomorrow then I finish sanding all the inside on Saturday then this will also be primed and eventually top coat. I am still doing all the grunt work in the evenings and saturdays and to be honest I am completely knackered but the sprayer is still keen to get the best results so I will just go with things and I am sure it will all be worth it !

    Well the last Saturday I hope sanding .The interior is all sanded ready for paint and most of it cannot even be seen but I will not get this opportunity again so decided to just do the whole lot.
