So not much has been happening, just a lot of prep work for painting.

Nice pile of dust to clean up in the garage before painting - I really honestly have swept this before!

Teehee - primer :)

Hoping to get all this done in white at sometime this week.

Unfortunately the projects going to be on hold soon as I'm moving house and will be without a garage for a few weeks :(

what spray gun is that being used?

A cheap one ^_^

Update:

So the boyfriend's painting skills weren't completely amazing...so my friend who works at a body shop is going to do the whole car on the side once all the prep work is done :)

Unfortunately due to the weather not a lot of work has been done on the car but I'm moving house at the end of the month so Henry can be moved to the new garage and away from the rain!

I updated on my other thread about some new Fondmetal wheels that I got, this will be used on Henry as my daily wheels once he's in a useable condition.

They were pretty dull so they're in the process of being polished up by the boyfriend :)

After polishing - looking pretty shiny!

How Henry's looking at the minute...A little bit sad!

Hoping to get all the prep done by the end of July and then get it painted in August in order to be on the road by September :)

So my house sale fell through this week which kinda sucks however, it means that I have my garage for a few months so today I'm moving Henry back home ^_^

Hopefully by having him inside I'll finally be able to get a fair amount of stuff done!

Hiya,

No I got the lights from a guy breaking a car in Birmingham.

If you were wanting some new ones then Lupoboz sells them, I got my others from him :)
