ok mr cowboy here has painted the inside of his car !!!! using radiator gloss thinned down with white spirit ! i used undercoat which was shite and ended up hand painting it on... the pics are just the first coat, i might put another one on once it dries :) as for the block, i got it back from getting deglased, had to use acid on the bores to dissolve fragments of carbon left behind off the "Bit" has worked beautifully. put the core plugs in, and have started cleaning the pistons. the oil gallerys on the pistons are extremely gummed up which was not a good sign but i have cleared these now.

well i have had a day of rubbing down the outside of the car, i have filled the scuttle, where i ground out the rot around the apertures for the wipers and squirts, i removed the sunroof which was a bit of a chore, i filled the join covering the shite top sill (half) which last oner welded with a cheap stick welder !!!! NICE !
i have taken out everything in the engine bay, and the subby is ready to roll away (once i undo it of course) i just have to finish off the passenger side and the boot, and it is completely rubbed down ready for paint prep.
i think i have shortened my life some what by not having a mask and all the resin dust in the air ! think i will go get one !!!
