Just a quick post but I've got a new toy.

It was an e-mither special that as it turned out was a none runner. A new switch and a clean up and it's ready to go!

I'll get it plumbed in properly and I know it'll not make me a better sprayer but I can do it for longer which helps!

Just a few updates from the last few weeks:

Engine bay

I finished rubbing the filler down and put a fresh coat of epoxy on.

Even though I looked for pin holes the primer did a better job and I found this lot...

Generally it looks good though and these pin holes are just frustrating but fixable.

Dashboard

I hacked it! I was very careful about this and have kept the metal removed so I could weld it in should I change my mind.

I then rubbed the whole thing down and sprayed epoxy

I used the oil heater to get this to cure as it's been cold in the garage but I got brave and threw down another coat of high build on the interior and dash. I've also bought a larger gun that I wanted to try too which made this job easy.

A slight cockup but I thinned the primer a bit too much and produced a few runs but it'll flat out - it's a learning curve!
