Boot

Spent a few hours wire brushing the boot floor followed by a coat of Bonda Zinc primer. It will stay like this until the body shell goes for paint.

I know it's a bit sad but I wanted to paint behind the regulator mounting plate. So I drill out the spot weld and removed it. I could then clean and paint the inner wing before refitting the plate. At the same time I fitted the bonnet stay locator which had been removed when I replaced a section of the wing mounting rail.

Time for the inside...

I couldn't resist some more painting, this time it was the cockpit. First a coat of primer, then seam sealer, then two coats of anti-stone stone chip (for a bit of sound deadening) and finally two brush coats of cellulose Tartan Red.

Had to leave the heater on all week. I worked out that I have already spent £70 running the heater. I better make sure that I get hold of our electricity bill before the wife see it!
