Soooooooooo, shell has paint on it! Chuffed with the job, I have a few runs, but nothing to worry about, but the paint is about 1mm thick!..............
Not a bad shine out of the gun................look even better when I have flatted and polished her!
Tried to get the reflection of my sizable hand for a comparison, but doesn't really say much.............
Also, yesterday I had a few deliveries, and I now have a huge stack of new bits to bolt to her, she is being treated to:-full set of new wishbone bushes, brand new ball joints, track rod ends, steering rack gaitors, steering column bushes, rear tie rod and trailing arm bushes, new front and rear shockers and springs, onto the engine, new water pump, head gasket, cam chain, tensioner and guides, and damn good service including plugs, points, condenser, leads cap arm etc. Should keep me entertained for a day or two!
