Paint my wagon .... the rebuild... bug*er

[syncropaddy]

Well she went in on Tuesday for a complete repaint, doors off and windows out .......









I hope to have her back in a week so I can start reassembling her

[syncropaddy]

The primer stage .....

[syncropaddy]

And finally a few litres of Marsalla Red ..........





and now the hard work starts ...........

[peasant]

Shiny, new Marsalla Red IS nice, I must say ...

Any particular reason why you're not painting the roof? High roof already waiting for it?

[axeman]

feels good when they come back all nice and shiny, looking good

[jebiga41]

mmm marsala red nice colour didn't know you were going for that, thats the same as my bus have to start calling your bus mini me

[syncropaddy]

Didn't paint the roof cuz it only needs a machine polish, the paint is fine and there are no dents.

I went for Marsala Red cuz that's what the colour originally was!!

[syncropaddy]

I love this bit !!



And the sticker is about right .....

[syncropaddy]

The new windscreen wont fit, the rear washer pipe has stuck in the rear door and the genuine VW rear bumper has the bolt holes in the wrong place.... ................. but apart from that its going well.

At least you didnt have to wait 6 weeks for the paint to harden like I did with my 60 quid rustoleum paintjob,

it is looking great imho, new paint is such a joy.

... and Bug*er again. Fitted a new LLE dash last week which took ages to do and get everything working again and yesterday I was fitting the wiper arms and managed to shear off a wiper spindle. Now the dash has to come out again to replace the spindle and its raining

At least we are nearly there ......

Looking good mate, Nothing worth while is ever easy. (As I'm finding with my own re-build!)
