Thanks, really appreciate the offer. This painting lark isn't easy. No idea what I'm doing. Lots of flattening and polishing coming up I feel.
Happy days eh

Hi Richard,
It's been a funny few weeks, plodding on slowly, don't seem to have stopped for a minute!!!
Running gear back on.
All doors, tailgate, etc, prepped primed and painted.
Pop out windows, bare metaled read for paint.
Body primed, flattened (a few times)
Tried Deluxe Trim on to see how it fitted.
Cried a few times (It seems endless sometimes)
Painted body all over in bottom colour.
Painted Top half (my version of blue/white).
Totally renovated the garden???
Body flattened (Not sure if painting is my specialty)
Nearly bought a Beetle??
Started polishing long panel.
Pics to follow...............

Sounds like you've been busy, get them pictures up!
Saw the Beetle, I'm after one as a project but that looks too much for me, No 1 son is currently 15 so thinking of one as his first car, a little project we can work on together.
