Re: 850t restoration, Painted AGAIN!
Hello little bit of an update on the van, I decided after seeing the van out in the sun that I was not happy with the finish of the paint, so spent one of the hottest days of the year flatting back and prepping again ready for another crack at getting a better finish.
The last one shows that I managed to get a lot better finish the second time round, its not perfect but for a job done in a small dusty garage with a compressor that's older than me it will do! got my friend coming to polish it up over the weekend so that will hopefully be the last of the paint work.
I have also painted the engine bay black and started fitting little bits back on, which I am really enjoying after all the welding and messy jobs.
Electric fuel pump with the coil + braided hoses and battery box from a ford puma! it is starting to look nice and tidy.
Been dreading this job! had to get a universal seal and struggle like hell to fit the window.
Took me and my friend 2 hours of head scratching and tea drinking but we got there in the end.
New chrome filling strip for the back window.
And 'Roxy' now has her face back on!!!
Door locks, dash instrument panel, door trim all back on, and I have got rid of that limo black window tint.
So over the next week I will carry on refitting all the boxes of bits that I have, the engine should hopefully be in in a couple of weeks time
