good progress rich. I love seeing the pics of people's work areas, houses and how you go about solving problems. Quite a few other members are using the nylon pergola/shelter things.

Slow and steady get things done Got all four doors off tonight.
Any one have any idea on how to get all this off my engine bay??
Its all ziebart. Great for stopping rust but looks s##t.
Petrol seems to work quite well but it evaporates very quickly.
Cheers.

I found the best way to get that sort of stuff off was heat and a scraper (not necessarily a good idea if you want to keep the paint that's under it) to get all the thick stuff off then a rag soaked in gun cleaner to get the rest.

Bloody hell took me about 10 minutes to find this 
Anyway. work is progressisng.
Got another gazeebo for the bottom of the garden to do my small bits of spraying done.
My next door neighbor managed to get me some builders trestles which are perfect for hanging my doors on
Then with a little help from this
And of course this
I wound up with these
Need a rub down now and then another coat of high build primer then its time for some top oat
Im well happy. Actually starting to look lik somethings happening now
Thanks

Looks like you have a pretty good finish on those doors mate. Did you take off the door rubbers though?
